Abandon Shadows: Embrace Sun

“Life is a dance. All you need to do is find your rhythm.” -Sandra Cooze Let life be a beach. Abandon shadows; embrace sun. Find your joyous beat. The dance of life you must not shun. Partners make it fun. Dance fast or slow, but not alone. Prance with abandon, Even let yourself get windblown! Take that chance and dance. Don’t hesitate; just grab a mate whose steps match your own. Remember time will never wait.

What someone suppose to do if he gets dizzy dancing? Or his steps doesn't match with his mate? lol. Just kidding. Nice work.

Dear Andrea,What a joyful and uplifting poem. it feels like a warm breeze on a sunny day—inviting, carefree, and full of gentle encouragement. I love the playful rhythm and the message to embrace life with open arms (and dancing feet!). “Prance with abandon” and “let yourself get windblown” are such delightful lines—full of movement and spontaneity. A sweet reminder to live fully and love freely....Hugs
