The journey

I have danced

To the music of love

And felt its beat

In every fibre of my being.

 

I have known the enchantment

Of a lovers touch

And lost myself

To follow their path.

 

I have forsaken

My dreams

And despaired

In the choices I have made.

 

I have allowed myself

To be blinded

When it felt easier

Than being true to myself.

 

I have longed for release

And have been

Numbed by fear,

Grounded by the chains of another.

 

I have been touched

By sorrow

And felt it in

The very depths of my soul.

 

I have been opened

By life’s betrayals

And no longer

Fear to dream.

 

I have learnt

To embrace my emotions

For only then can I

Truly understand them, and myself.

 

I have faced my fears

And am stronger.

Now I am free

To dance in the light of the moon.

Magnificiant, Capturing, and Emotional.

[ChristopherPoet]

An Emotive verse an affirmation to be true to yourself and follow your own path. There is enlightenment within the progression of your verse, from "I have longed for release" to "I have faced my fears", a spirited poem.

[An owl on the moon]

You express life's journey through your glimpses of experience.. pain and pleasure... Beautifully rendered and powerfully voiced, filled with a hope that we can go on and find ourselves dancing...
