The Dance
by Regina Pounds → (All Poetry by Regina Pounds)
   Rated "PG13" by the Author.

Dew beneath her feet upon grass so fresh and sweet

Air around her moist and cool

Why had she been a fool?

Swinging round hair unbound

Arms lifted high above she freed herself from love

Twirling in mid air she danced light and fair

Her heart unburdened in free fall she answered destiny's call

The winds gave her wings to fly where eternity springs where life's joys become norm --

and cast her straight into a thunderstorm.

That's what happens when once dances in the dark, near a cliff edge, into a peat bog, . . . it's all a "whoops!" situation.

Wise words: "Check the emotional weather report before dancing in the rain."

Cool read. . .blessin's

Depicting a symbolistical story, "The Dance" goes on with music played by the orchestra of life.

An enjoyable and inspiring creation.

I salute You, Sublime Poet!
