The Universe's Dance

The Universe's Dance Transitions of the obstruction of life To the peacefulness of the night Or a new beginning that a rising sun can bring without a fight And in the late hour when everything becomes quiet Nature has a way to transform Within this turning of time Every living spec upon this ever changing storm To which we play this nursery rhyme Maybe by a birds sweet sound That brings a sweet remembrance to a season or day And within a condensed shift in life a smile abounds Upon a glowing face The way the wind softly caresses your face With a cool breeze To wave off the heat of the day With a whistling sound moving melodically free How the drip drop of rain hitting a window pane can calm a tone With its streams of life being poured from the heavens To revive a world that struggles for life sitting on a disintegrating throne And spring a newness into each creation with no discretion An uncontrollable fire, breathing in the sky Giving endlessly its lantern to lead us by each step And warming our bodies when the cold starts to cry Frightfully showing its characters of depth Flickering candles floating in the atmosphere Decorating a painted canvas of deep blue Wishes casted off into their whispering ear With silent hopes of dreams coming true How amazing is a small and fragile seed That can create a feast for Kings And feed a family in need And if planted again grows once more in spring We so carelessly disregard the treasures that are all around These viable precious gifts, nature holds out to us so unselfishly Returning day after day, season after season unannounced Unlocking valiant colors of wonders on towers of stems rising from the ground... so proudly All these elements work in unity to perform a theatrical dance upon our stage They are the silent voices within the earth Imparting without antcipating anything to gain Unstained by our constant denial, clasping to last place in our world of worth Eyes of sadness our universe never reflects For it hides its emotions within its design And even the smallest spectator never detects Its unfailing true love for all man kind

I too like these in between moments. I think this one is my favourite so far. Your pieces all hold a bit of sadness. I had a friend once say that a sunny idyllic picture will hold your attention briefly but one with shadows will keep you coming back. I suspect it is the same with poetry.

I like this very much because it rings so true. The world we have gives us everything. We have to learn not to take too much, but that message is contrary to the culture we have. It takes an astute writer to know that, but you are not alone. Thank you for your message in this work. It gives me hope.
