To Dance

You gotta keep going, no matter what happens to you. To do otherwise is a kind of death.

I danced on a cloud

while I sang to the sun

I was full, and whole, and loud

finding, winning the one.

I danced on the ground 

while I sang to the sky

When I lost what I'd found

she left. I wondered why.

The chance that I took

left hanging on a hook,

like a used winter coat

or the words that I've wrote.

I'll dance in the morning

and I'll sing all alone.

I'll laugh 'til it's hurting

and the tears make me moan.

I'll dance in the evening

until my legs give out.

I'll sing while I'm grieving

my heart lost in doubt.

to dance and sing in ones own pain to hope for a better marrow

Totally beautiful and maybe that's just because I have been dancing since I was 2

Keep dancing, my friend! I love the powerful emotion behind it of never giving up, of never slowing down, of always moving forward. It is a spectacular sentiment.
