She Dances

A poem about letting go and finding happiness...

She rises up- fearlessly

She takes my hand- she says to me

I’m ready now- oh can’t you see

We can’t take this world so seriously

 

I shake my head-I try to say

It’s for a reason- it’s just the way

The world works, but she steps away

And she starts to dance

 

All around the people stare

But she just keeps dancing

She doesn’t care

She spins around just like a spark

And it lights the fire in my heart

And suddenly from the dark

The people sing

 

And the music it stays

It rises up and it starts to slay

The things that told us we’re all okay

If we just settle down and hide away

From what we really need

Our childhood dreams

Our hearts, our souls, and our need to scream

Like she said

Stop taking this world so seriously

 

And I saw it there

As she moved

Against the beat, so gracefully,

I need her here, please stay with me

But I’ve always known

She’s always here and we’ll be going home

But not until she’s done dancing…

this was sweet, and lovely written. Excellent job with this, I loved how you incorporated the words in such a way that they could be sang as a song.

[Hester Vane]

Beautiful. Almost like the lyrics to a love song!

When the soul speaks of love, it always sings.

She truly is a free spirit ^^ thank you for the comment :)

Your welcome!! It was my pleasure

[Circe]

the physical and emotional expression of dancing is beautifully conveyed in this piece, which can also be a metaphor for someone's mind, that wild carefree quality that shakes off your troubles, very much enjoyed.

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it ^^

[Apatheia]

This is great. Very free spirited.

[MachinaWriter]

Yeah, its different than most of the things I usually write, so I wasn't sure about it. I kind of just started typing, and when I was done with it I decided not to edit certain parts, because I felt that the unorthodox rhythm fit the meaning. But still I was a little worried about how it would be received, considering I don't usually do things like this.

[Apatheia]

Different and taking chances are good every once and a while.

[MachinaWriter]

I agree lol Thank you again for reading it.

[Apatheia]

:P no problemo.

You can probably guess what I'm going to say, but this is amazing. It's something I need to live by, really. Amazing job.

[MachinaWriter]

lol thank you. I was about to send you a message saying you should check it out, you'd probably find something good in it. I was reading some of our messages about overcoming life and not letting it get you down and I quickly pulled up a new tab and wrote this. So in a way you can say you inspired it ^^

Well I'm honored, because it's an amazing piece by an amazing writer. When I'm down, I'll have to keep this in mind.
