we don’t talk about good-bye clear is the colorful tears we cry no one teaches us how to deal overwhelmed is why we feel you told me how wonderful is a kiss but mama you didn’t teach me this and how does a heart that was alive die all of a sudden, then revive I’m a smart woman with an amazing will but this thing has powerful skills and has hit me square in the back consciousness is gone I see black knocked the wind right out of me mind and heart argue, but both agree that although I've lost my breath this is not my dance of death "I have already paid for all my future sins." Sade...(King of Sorrow) |

 (sigh) BRAVO!!! Yes, there come times that may be so devastating and painful to our hearts, but it is never the end, for your loving heart will always beat on and you are destined to find the most beautiful love and faith you can ever dream of! (sigh) Always listen to your heart, dreams can come true! (sigh) Sooooooo touching, sweet Helen, you always write so wonderfully! (big huggsssssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Terrific write, my water sprite friend. Definitely not a dance of death, but one of life anew, of growth, another piece in the puzzle of wholeness. We cry, we die...we grow from the experience, becoming something we were not, before. Close your eyes...see me smile with you??? jwesley |

A poignantly beautiful write. Glad it isn't a last dance poem, but rather one of hope in the face of a graceful acceptance of loss. |
