Dance To Love - Part 2- POTD - The Grand Finale - a Visual Art Poem Tribute

POTD 6th August 2019 The clock ticks down the passing day Tedious seconds count down my existence Time for my pills ~ Time to call the nurse Time ~ taunting my resistance Soft haunting strains of a violin float sweetly liquid, melodiously unchained freeing my mind from weariness faced No barriers ~ it flows ~ unrestrained My world of music I lived it ~ breathed it In whispers ~ it spoke to my Soul bringing with it, adoration and glory and a passion beyond my control I glance at the painting on the wall pondering this feeling of déjà vu Memories of this glade from before Triggers mentation I need to pursue Memories flood ~ a vision in the distance an Angel dancing in its midst who had danced with wild abandon lucent skin the sun had kissed How I had yearned to dance with her with that angel who made me sigh she had come to shine her own pure light prompting my spirit to fly But there’s no girl there ~ awry is my mind And I’m but a frail old man I must erase thoughts from my life bygone And prevail however best I can ~ Every great dream starts with the dreamer who ventures where mortals dare not tread And laughs with mirth and cares not for unfinished rhapsodies playing in his head ~ What’s this? I’m suddenly in the glade? A strong young lad once more She has come for me, my Angel love I leap - I twirl - I soar We dance with wild abandon We dance without a care sun kissed skin our arms entwined Wild flowers everywhere It seems I’ve left the world behind And unshackled my attachments of A hundred birds do sing out loud To watch us Dance to Love by Maria Williams Thank you for listening and watching this video.

So beautiful, Maria. Growing old is hard but it's the lovely memories that remind us that dreams can come true...even if they're in the afterlife where we are renewed. This poem is so hopeful with the lovely video and background music. It was a joy to not only read, but to experience and remember. Faved of course!

Maria Williams
Date: 8/6/2019 4:55:00 AM

Thanks so much my dear friend Carole. I'm so glad you liked it. Yeah even though it was sad to watch him in the end this is how I visualized him going, to the after life to be renewed, playing his beloved music, dancing and being what he once was. Thanks always for your support, you know I appreciate you....Maria Hugs

Music speaks its very language to the soul.. the rhapsody is unmeasurable.. the charm is unfathomable.. Music is of sublime essence and significance when it resonates with a daughter's heart and life cuddled by a loving father.. Music transcends the words and the tangible world.. it "frees the mind" and keeps the heart ever glowing above aging.. A great pleasure of a unique taste when reading, listening and watching your gem of rarity.. Great poetry and great visual, dearest Maria! A FAV. Love.

Maria Williams
Date: 8/5/2019 11:31:00 PM

How right you are when you say music transcends the words and the tangible world. Plato said that “music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything”. . I was the fortunate one who grew up encapsulated in the vortex of music. Thanks my dearest Besma for always appreciating my poetry, your constant support and the fave....Maria Hugs

Maria Williams
