Dancing With the Earth

She careens on the sand while the night streams into the deep.

The dew saturates her skin

as she spins and twists, the ocean applauding her elegance.

And the waves crash at her feet as she bows with reverent approach.

The stars gleam and glimmer yet envious at her luster.

 

A still.....yet heavy silence consumes nature

as the mist is broken by spirit

all the while the earth tilts with her turns

and tears fall from cerulean.

Love knows no bounds

as it is ever displayed

and triumph is art,

systematically unspoken.

 

What more is the sun

ever inward

emanating warming light?

 

She opens her eyes

with a subtle grin

and a quiet thunder lingers.

She glares at her earth laden feet

with joy,

less care or worry of tomorrow.

For today she dances with the Earth.

Women sure can inspire some artistic endeavors. They can also make the heart flutter. Its a beautiful read. As if your words were painting her.

eloquent of this equinox hypnotic dancer who has inspired the circumspection of such musing deployment...great piece

[Sheila Kline]

Thank you for the friend request!

I am honored to review your work which is obviously inspired by the beauty and grace of the dancer who dances as one with the Earth as the feels the joy of life, the beauty of her surroundings and with this freedom of spirit she joins the elements of that which inspires her to dance on and on. As the earth tilts with her turns she moves on with love that knows no bounds - her love of dance, her love of life, her inspiration to inspire others!

Your form, the grace by which you write matches the talent of the dancer! Lovely, so very lovely!!

[Matt DeFranco]
