~~ RE Birth ~~

THIS IS A VERY OLD POEM ABOUT 2 YEARS Maybe 3 YEARS OLD... JUST REPOSTING !!!

REBIRTH

The dance is over, air expelling

from my lungs like exploding bubbles

I' am drowning , slowly descending

like a graceful butterfly who has lost

it's wings

A backward plunge into the

murky depths , arms expanded

in light freeform motions.

I must except this chapter in which

I've just closed, set out to sea on

a barge of reverence.

My life is now movement in words.

The twirling motion of the pen writing

in the next move.

Rhythmical steps can no longer tell

my story. So I go gracefully, bow out

to pick up a new style of interpretation.

Extending a hand to clean white

parchment that waits for me on the

floor of this page.

The spot light no longer on the dancer.

It shines on a new truth now, fact that

I freely embrace as I lay the dream to rest.

Picking up a new dream , one of words

of tales, and of stories meant to be heard.

So drift down now sweet dancer in beautiful

dark arabesque motions, into the endless abyss

that was once clear visions.

Sleep now as I awake to a new day filled with

poetic beginnings.

Dance now in a different pattern, the moves

are changed but the world is the same.

Art of the mind while the body welcomes rest

Time filled with words yet to be said, spoken words

yet to be heard, songs yet to be sung, friends yet

to be embraced.

Swimming back up to the top of the waters

as a new hope is defined, the birth of a poet.

Old but defenitly not best left buried, a beautiful piece woven with an art for growth and expansion.
A journey portrayed very cleary within your words, and a graceful adn elegant journey. You are a very talented indavudal and i will happily say that you stumbled across this talent that you write with because it is utterly beautiful.

thanks for sending a request for it.

I can say no more about it, seeing as I am as speechless as I've ever been in regards to a work

encore.
