Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the theme "Dancing Blind" for Eve Roper's current contest-  but not written for that contest.

 

Entered August 30, 2026, in the Premiere Contest,"1497 Aug - Sept No 2"

Dancing Blind

With ups and downs and rhythmic gait,
they dance together with their show.
No way to rest or hesitate-
just keep on swinging, high and low.

At night they glisten 'neath moon glows
as they move on in measured ways;
together, merged in well-formed rows,
to blindly dance through blinding haze.

At times they gallop or may prance
to varied rhythms that they feel;
yet know the purpose of their dance
keeps everything on even keel.

And, so they reach out to the shore-
now rising taller- see their prize;
once there, collapse, rest and explore-
blindly retreat, again to rise.

Like waves, we also roll freehand;
we blindly dance to what's in store.
Our waves both high and low will land
on what life grants us to explore-

and blindly dance with faith and hope
we find that well-deserved long rest,
to know our rhythm helped us cope;
that our dark dance has met the test.
