Distant melody begins to float And newborn spirits yawn Eyes turned towards the light Of softly rising dawn. Music weaves upon the sky As fluid sound does lure Hesitant hearts begin to wonder If life they can endure. Footsteps fall on barren soil And one dares to take the chance For never is life truly lived Outside the whirl of the dance. A symphony of emotion swells As love enfolds eternity And only when the notes do fall Heartache can we see. But with bittersweet harmony Fleeting wisdom is found For only through the soul's pain Can we soar heaven bound. And as the music fades away So does human strife No one regrets the fleeting dance That is known as life. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Great poem Krista... I think I can see where you got the inspiration for this. Sometimes, though one just feels like he needs to sit out from the dance for a while.. and just watch and think, ya know? Excellent writing Krista, much enjoyed  Abrahm Simons "...Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose" - Trent Reznor, "We're in this Together" |

This just dances down the page, as if it's a song itself! Very lovely words and images you paint in my head...I'm hearing music I believe!  Soft and sweet poetry at it's finest! |

A haunting melody you have given us, Krista. Truly "fleeting" this dance is. TY for sharing this one. Michael |
