Shall I dance a new dance?
Shall I sing a new song?

The old song was filled
with words of deception.
A love song gone wrong.
A shallow tune,
the beat off-key,
No depth of melody.
the instruments
out of tune.

The dancers have left
the floor.

It is time for a new song,
that is only mine.
Filled with rich melodies.
A deep resounding
orchestration,
a waltz
of immeasurable
beauty and truth.

My turn to dance
to the beat
of my own hearts desire
in tune with the universe,
as I conduct a new
symphony
of my very own.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Dear Ellie,
I see this as a launch of faith in a brave new world, unshackled from former noise once considered music, but now recognized for what it is or was. And now ready to really make the music you always wanted to. What an upbeat positive message-life does go on & calls for change looking ahead to new adventures & dreams. Follow Your Dreams,
David

Very nice, Ellie, and I do identify with much of what you have written. I'm so glad you can see that your own music was always the most beautiful of all.

Ellie...

I too danced to that old song....and I am waiting patiently for the new song to begin. This is a beautiful tribute to self-realization.

Ellie,

You wrote a beautiful melody of your very own. I think I can dance to this one.

That's the spirit. Make up your own dance moves. That's certainly my plan.

I also read this as a poem about self-discovery and improving life. I'm still trying to create my own song, still searching for the right words. I like your use of metaphor here, it allows the reader to interpret the message in his or her own way! Great job!

Ellie, I never looked at life/love like that. Quite a challenge! Great poem!

this is a wonderfully positive poem Ellie, grasp those dreams and bring them alive.
