The dance

Many kinds of opportunities for the dance. A wise person is fearless in life. If you take no chances. You won't know what you could of done and saw.

                               The dance

Star bright, star light. So many stars lighting up the night.
Dark eyed beauty dances with the Seaside waves.
She had stripped away her fears and she dances with the moon and the sea.

I watched her dance upon the shore.
I adored her laughter and her hunger to be free.
She told me often. "Words are cool.  Better to had lived. Strong and wise people strip away
their clothing. Hiding nothing. Better to be bare and fearless than tired and dead."

We lay together in a cozy sleeping bag.
Warm skin to warm skin. Create fires that can't be put out.
She whispered "Sweet Poet, are we destined to die. Lose the innocent of youth.
Fall to the desire of useless things. How do you stop the journey from dying?
I don't want to lose the midnight dances at the sea. The embrace of lovers on
cold nights. I don't want to lose my laughter and joy. I want to love life and be fearless."

I kissed her auburn hair, beautiful neck and lips. I told her. " Life is long. We will live and die many times.
Us human are born to suffer. We want too much or too little. Never content with what we have. Tonight
my sweet love. We are not dead. We can dance by the light of the moon and the stars. Old world is
far away. Just you and me. Knowing peace with the sea and the sand. "

My dark eyed beauty stood up and brought me to her. She told me. "Tonight we dance like it is the first dance,
the last dance. We will allow the Gods of the sea to know. We love life and are fearless. We will not descend
into to sadness. We will dance the dance of hope and dreams."

The stars and moon seem to shine brighter, like they were enjoying the show.
I kiss my love and whispered a silence prayer to the sea.

Thank you my Pacific. I have a place to come to know peace. I know you can't control the sea.
We need to be like the ocean. Free from the control of greedy men. Thank you bright stars, that
light up the night. Thank you the powerful sea for being kind. Life is fair.
We must open our eyes and know what we truly need.

Two people danced upon a lonely beach.

“Star bright, star light. So many stars lighting up the night.”

Oh so nice! The opening line really caught my attention. It reminds me of the timeless song. More often we are too bound by our fears. That is a fact, now I am trying to face it, to bare it what needs to be free. That’s what I see in this piece and within me.

I just really like how you shine your wisdom and experienced here my friend. It is true many of us wants many things unnecessary whether it is big or small. Contentment really do hard to find. Humans, or us never seems to be content of what we already have, we wanted more from it. I just have learned that we must be thankful on the little things we already have. Because more often little things brings big impact on our soul.

“Life is long. Life is fair.”

True words, sometime I do think that life is never fair and it is quite short. But when you think about the light of things, life can be longer and life is much more fair than what we think.

Humans do have many desires, and to find that special need takes a very good leap and careful choice. There is only one that will last a lifetime.

A very nice piece my friend. Keep it up!

A gentle ethereal poem of love and discovery Coyote.
Must be the morning after as there are many errors of tense:
than tire and dead." -than tired and dead
are we destine to die. -are we destined to die
Lose the innocent of-lose the innocence of
auburn hair beauty neck and lips -auburn hair and beautiful neck and lips
I kiss my love and whispered a silence prayer to the sea.-I kissed my love and whispered a silent prayer to the sea.
