Notes About The Poem

Dance of Death Poetry Contest

Choosing your Dance

I have seen those who do the Dance of Death
although, they do not know what they are doing
choices, some bold and brave, some dumb and young
are made and the consequences drive the dance
some boldly go dancing, some timidly dance,
and some blindly dance as if no one is watching
the scene is scary, yet can be moving
and my prayer for the dancer is that they live
to dance again and make choices once more,
hopefully wiser ones that will allow them to
grow older and bolder and live to dance again
