We’re puppets to this music that the pen and paper make We dance amidst its melody and calling in partake Then close our eyes to chorus, which does sing in pure delight Cocooned in self and voices that keep singing through the night Amiss of creature callings as the sirens lure more To sing with so much beauty and a way that I adore To summon all my feelings and the passions that I hold To dance with pen and paper so the sighted may behold Floating on the aura, on the wave to heaven’s shore So warmed by inner company and voice from evermore Reflective and in ponder of the past and future’s glance As pen and paper join as one and do the poet’s dance |

BC, thank you for your reply here, may we all dance this dance for many a time. Joe, I can't say I dance in the physical level too often myself and when I do it is not good, may you pen dance with the paper often, thanks for the reply, it is much appreciated. Sincerely Rick |

Rick, this is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you rhyme. It's all so pretty, but this I really liked this "poet's dance"...... Floating on the aura, on the wave to heaven’s shore So warmed by inner company and voice from evermore Reflective and in ponder of the past and future’s glance As pen and paper join as one and do the poet’s dance Hugs  Ethel |
