Life is A Dance We hear the music begin to play we find each other we start to sway. Side stepping obstacles we talk while we dance gazing into each other's eyes as if in a trance. As partners in life we maneuver across the floor bumping into people but each other we adore. We've come to know the meaning of love we've felt it delivered from up above. Life is a dance we are waltzing along till we hear the end of the song. ~Lorraine~ |

Rather interesting poem. Would that be considered to be a metaphysical poem? Have you ever read John Donne? I'm presently in a highschool english literature course... |

a wonderful poem, lovely. I am off to get my dancing shoes. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |

Life is a dance we are waltzing along till we hear the end of the song. Life is that too!!! another beauty of life emphasised by your beautiful poem, Lorraine. Regards, sudhir Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

~Lorraine this is a super cool poem girl! i really liked the images in this one. your writing is taking on a bit of a different style i've noticed and i like. great poem! amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

I hear the music Lorraine and hope the song never ends... "gazing into each other's eyes as if in a trance." Love that part, captures the emotions in a beautiful way... -nando- Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

Lorraine, Beautiful expression of life and having someone to spend it with. Hope this is your reality. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
