Because I Can Dance And You Can Too!

I dance among the thistles
thorns do protrude sharply,
but never a wince from I  
for truly happiness abides.

Going about it knowing
the true secret to life
is just a matter of how
you look at what’s showing.

“Oh yes” the pain is there!
treating it tenderly
something that must be done
learning new steps is the key.

Just picking up my step
to the dance of life’s beat
when things keep on coming with
no regard to me they treat.

Life has little secrets
open your eyes to see
and blessings will start flowing
I promise this true to be!

Music comes in all forms
adaptation necessary,
for dance of life with god-speed
to flow free endlessly.

Cause I have learned to dance
life’s been very kind indeed,
you can experience to
joys unforeseen to you!

Life’s thistles will always be
taking advantage of you!
take a good look then come
dance with me and be set free.

jazz must be a style to represent life...the beat keeps changing making it hard to stay with the rhythm of it all

this is what your poem made me think of, always needed help explaining jazz

I really only dance while drunk because I have two left feet. Cerenity, beautiful words.

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Hi Everyone,

I want to thank you for stopping by and for such kind replys, This year for some reason has been a tough one and so the tough have to get dancing sort of speeking in order to not fall to a point of not being able to get back up, I guess looking at life from the positive side for me has helped even when it's bad! thank you again.

Love, Cerenity

Thank you so much, Cerenity, for sharing this encouraging poem...something much needed these days...wonderful work!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...
