Dancing Toward Delight

Dancing toward delight 
In touch with her utter most soul
Her bliss preceded her into restaurants
And her laughter rang out loudly,
Echoing down halls of selfishness and sorrow
Eliminating any need for any other emotion
Except pure delight that she had found love
And was in the throes of herself

Excited beyond belief
In touch with her merriest self
Her delight pranced into conversations
Smiles began as she entered alleyways
Seriousness gone, nothing but the pure fun
of being herself, taking everyone captive
Coaxing them to prance their own dance
and live in her world of pure enthusiasm

zest for dance and thirst for discovery of my inner self. I find this very solid and relates to introspection of our reserved qualities. well tuned in as you are.

This is a high energy frolicking poem that you captured in strokes of dramatic. 3rd line: did you want proceed rather than precluded? This is me being helpful, we all have pesky keyboards that often fail to know what we are thinking. I enjoyed the poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I also meant preceded, that's funny to me. It's 2:11 and I usually nap around 2 so I'm going down, that is where I am bound.

I am racing up there to look. But why are we both AWAKE at this weird time, CayCay? I meant neither precluded or proceeded. I mean preceded, so I was glad you let me know so I could fix it. Thank you my friend!
