Dancing In the Void

Dancing in the Void Dancing in the void Sanctuary delighting in the sparks Welding contemplation to an ever exploding new creation Flash dancing in transient exploding flickers Stampeding through transient ethers An arabesque leaping from opaque to lucid Elegant grace unclothed in transparent cabrioles Of eloquent staggering bliss in currents Flowing visceral electricity A revelry revealed in electric leaping caprioles Charged with revelation In flaring truth often viewed with eyes half closed Illuminated luminosity embraced On a stage where stoic suspended anticipation Finally emerges to be energized - Artistic synchronicity - Where leaping quandaries, charged dark enquiries And ascending aspirations for moments of beauty Pirouette in soaring surges Dancing in the void of veracity uplifted. 8-10-21 Contest: The Void Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker

Thank you Beata! Your message makes my heart just feel happy! I truly believe writing lyrics, searching for new ways to express thoughts, has been an amazing mentor for poetry. One of the greatest joys in life for me is to encourage others in their gifts and giftedness. I am so glad these messages bring you cheer and joy. You are a blessing and always bring honor to our loving God!

You pirouette and arabesque through the minds of your readers like a whirling dervish of language in this masterful musing. So well done. Not a void at all but filled with words and symbols. Once again, congratulations. What a delicious delight.

Another incredible use of words and images, so descriptive of The Void. I really enjoyed reading your poem, Sam.

That was the essential question Milt - writing about nothingness. Seekers prompt helped by giving that moment definition - that space between one thought and a new moment of inspiration or truth. Did you ever write on the theme? Would love to see that poem.

Oh, I haven't a gnat's chance in this contest. How do you write about nothingness?????? Hmmmm....

Thank you so much Milt. This was an especially challenging theme. I had to spend many minutes in the "void" exploring! Almost missed entering! Take care. All the best!
