She was just a tiny dancer
That space between
The light and the dark
The room and the quiet bathroom
That lets your face see your words
On the mirrors front face.

She was on the bathroom floor,
Asking for the reason to her life
Asking why it hurt so much

ItÕs a place
For the faint hearted
A place where I could
See the misery and the jubilation

I could see her for what she is
This tiny dancer running up the stairs
Where the wind had to catch its breath

I could see the imprints of hands
On the hallways running through the home
with tiny strings of hair scattered across the wooden floor

I remember the strands of her hair
Like it was the color of brown autumn
Brown sand under the travelerÕs dry feet

But most of all
I could take the romance of the blue sea
Wrap my wings around its waves
And place her body so softly

Her feet could dance again
Dance until the tiny night came to chance.

Dancers have that huge sensitivity that makes them question things, they find answers and new questions with every step.

Another intriguing, lovely piece of poetry, dear Tomer.

Love,

Yes, Margherita is right. This is intriguing. Very beautiful and sensitive, but a tad disturbing, as I think it is meant to be.

Yann, yes, indeed it is. Both are forms of free flowing poetry.
