https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/daydream_dancing_899433

I am the diamond that breathes in your hands; The fine lace to sway in breezes through windows as I crumble dedans la pirouette; The cyclone, the earthquake, implosion of power in your arms. Spin me a room, Weave me a rainbow, Pull me to you and push me away. Burn me, absorb me. I tumble, trip, fall, to be lifted by you, elevated, levitated; Finest rags, softest fringe, ripple around last evening light; Raise me slowly on tiptoes; Rescue me, scream my name loud. Spin me your laughter, Catch me, don't drop me, Pull me to you, never push me away. Dance, don't stop. Never stop. *** May 10, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Please stay seated Darren and let me ramble. I will forever say and believe poetry is all about expression and emotion. And yes, the same applies to dance for dance expresses emotions and feelings as well. However, I don't have to tell you that for you know that better than I. You most beautifully and most powerfully expressed yourself here with emotion being present and felt. Congratulations on all aspects of artistry here Darren. You are amazing. It has been an honor. Keep expressing

Darren White

I sit here in my chair, and I love hearing you ramble :) Dance, music and poetry are one thing for me, almost inseparable, and you understand that well. Thank you my friend <3
