I've danced
closer
seen darkness,
terror,
pain
closer

the music throbs
in a way
that strikes your
loneliness
like strings

but I've still
danced closer
seen fire,
ice
closer

the magic dance
can make you cry
it plays you
like keys
but still

if you can't
dance closer
you should dance
not at all

I have always seen dance as a spiritual endevour. This piece echos my thoughts quite closely. Very well done.

Portia, just great, as usual. The whole poem, and the last stanza in particular, really got to me.  Nice way of using dance to show life, love, etc.
