Life, The Eternal Dance
Life, the eternal dance,
that pendulum always swaying from dark to light,
while we move around its arc, avoiding every strike.
But sometimes we’re clumsy with the steps we try to keep,
and the pendulum hits hard, knocking us off our feet.
Thrown into the shadows, surrounded by the flames,
cremating thought within your mind, igniting burning pains
that twist and churn so fiercely they could drive one insane.
But stand.
Stand on your own two feet.
Never give up.
Never accept defeat.
Dance through those flames that scorch inside your brain
until you reach the light once more and break free from the strain.
Continue the eternal dance,
dodging that pendulum’s swing at every chance.
And if once again you’re struck and knocked down,
remember this truth — Always Dance Strong.
