Dancing Again This is a two part poem dealing within and outside a person’s spheres of life. It started as a single one in “Dancing Within”. Dancing Within Hands on my head Supporting the weight Of too much pain In sighs of soft breathes Looking downward Closed eyes sometimes weeping Storming into pools of feelings The sorrows of life drains In saline solutions Of torments breaking free Calming waters As the weight has lifted With a face now looking upward Into the high heavens In hands magnetically Coming together Bonding within celestial hopes Clinging intertwined hands Merging with whispers so soft That they carry helium thoughts On angelic wings A tear drops in the hope That the message is heard As a sigh releases pressure Leaving the inner spirit Dancing again Dancing World May all the religions of the world Put their hands on their head in shame In the wars and atrocities done in their name Religion should never be about war Saying which salvation is always right Religion should be about peace In the respect of getting along In the diversity that was given us To be different in many ways Reaching the inner most spirituality That we are blessed with In hands that magnetically come together In our sorrows and trepidation saying “We are the children We are the future We all need the spiritual hope To be able to survive bigotry” So if you are a religious leader That says I must die for you That I must kill my fellow man Shame, shame on you And the gutter of life You came from Life is the most special gift Ever given to anyone It is a blessed event in all religions It all gives those that bear it The inner peace of that time That should perpetuate throughout time Not taken away in martyrdom By false prophets We all must look upward for hope But now instead of our hands coming together Form the chain of humanity That has no barriers or boundaries Dancing in a sea of humanity Thought: May the peace we seek in our souls, go beyond us and reach out for the diversity of the heavens of other people’s peaceful thoughts. Thought: May words drive us together and not to war.

Beautiful dancing here. Onward and upward. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
