Life Dance

Lately I find the ink of my pen dried
scarce of thoughts and emotions
that comes flowing naturally
from the core of my heart
I miss the raging feelings 
and endless stirrings
that rise higher 
and dive deeper as they come
Like a dance that sway up and down
to the beat of the music 
or of a musical note 
that ascend and descend
in a crescendo and diminuendo
feelings and emotions that were dancing
to the tune of life's beat and rhythm
are silent and asleep
I feel a steadying calmness
an interlude from this medley
that puts my heart at rest
Serenity fills me now
confident and secure
in knowing that life like a balance 
can tip high and low but cannot sink me
I can dance through life without fear 
of falling and drowning in its complexities
as I have someone 
who needs and loves me
arms to pick me up and lift me
a hand to hold and guide me
a faith that is strong to sustain me
a hope that never dims inside me
