Dance of Joy

DANCE    OF    JOY


Empty empyrean cold. 
In the dawn  the sun pours in
the vacant ballroom of the night sky   -
the dark blue then the light blue then pink 
and finally the glory of his white life,  
as the small nightlights of stars 
disappear in his filling warmth   
and the void of night flows with the sound of joy.
Then move the plants, crawl the worms, run the children,
revives the earth to turn another round,
spinning in circles around her partner.
The clouds join the dance and the waves 
in the ballroom of our planetary palace
as our world is silently whirled.
Joyful dancing beauty and fragility  -
Elegant, peerless and graceful.

this is a fantastic entry for the contest, it will be very difficult for anyone to top this methinks! such great imagery - love "the vacant ballroom of the night sky" - and love the wordplay in the third to last line (world and whirled) I don't see much of that on here but I do enjoy it and sometimes employ it in my own poetry :-)
