Dancing Under the Moonlight

She dances under the moonlight.

Her legs swing in a circle,

the perfect poster,

her eyes closed.

She feels the moon watching her,

her only crowd.

She spins again and again,

smiling again;

never before had she felt so free.

The wind circling her,

her chest loosens

from all the pain.

She jumps gracefully,

again and again.

She dances under the moonlight for all entirety.

And through it maybe a curse for others,

it's a gift to her,

Spinning again and again,

she remembers her old life,

The hurt, abuse, life she has gone through,

Now all she does is dances,

so freely

so gracefully,

with no one to see her,

but she's fine,  

to forget the pain in life

as long as she dances.

I like how you gave the moon a human quality; it's watching her dance. I think we all have that place where we feel happy and free and escape the hardships of life. For her its dancing alone, and for me it's writing.

Thank you.

That is such a beautiful poem. I also feel like it has a lot of meaning that someone would be able to take away from the poem.

I like how you said that dancing is the only way to get rid of the pain for her.
