Ballet of words

Words dance
Expressing the passion

An orchestra plays
As romance happens
Violins find just the right tune
To accompany the magic
That moonbeams perform

Poetry's waltz
A magnificent ballet
Operatic daydreams
Nightdreams too
Life fiction or truth
                                          
Words performing
As they do best
Expressing emotions
Staging a scene
                          
Ears hears their music
Eyes vividly see
The drama that can be inscribed
On a scape piece of paper
Or electronic code
                              
It may not always be Shakespeares'
But always has soul

lovely piece..and so true..we may not be Shakespeare but we certainly don't lack in effort..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Ah, Songbird, this is you, writing at your best...so ethereal and enchantingly poetic...

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Joseph Fort Newton
