Re Birth

~~RE Birth ~~

A Poem by Debbie_Philly 

THIS IS A VERY OLD POEM ABOUT 2 YEARS Maybe 3 YEARS OLD... 

REBIRTH

The dance is over, air expelling
from my lungs like exploding bubbles
I' am drowning , slowly descending
like a graceful butterfly who has lost
it's wings
A backward plunge into the
murky depths , arms expanded
in light freeform motions.
I must accept this chapter in which
I've just closed, set out to sea on
a barge of reverence.
My life is now movement in words.
The twirling motion of the pen writing
in the next move.
Rhythmical steps can no longer tell
my story. So I go gracefully, bow out
to pick up a new style of interpretation.
Extending a hand to clean white
parchment that waits for me on the
floor of this page.
The spot light no longer on the dancer.
It shines on a new truth now, fact that
I freely embrace as I lay the dream to rest.
Picking up a new dream , one of words
of tales, and of stories meant to be heard.
So drift down now sweet dancer in beautiful
dark arabesque motions, into the endless abyss
that was once clear visions.
Sleep now as I awake to a new day filled with
poetic beginnings.
Dance now in a different pattern, the moves
are changed but the world is the same.
Art of the mind while the body welcomes rest
Time filled with words yet to be said, spoken words
yet to be heard, songs yet to be sung, friends yet
to be embraced.
Swimming back up to the top of the waters
as a new hope is defined, the birth of a poet.

Robert Pettit February 4, 2014 at 12:11 AM An imaginative and colorful write. Just one item appears questionable: In your ninth line, "except" should be "accept" if you are agreeing to take the chapter. If you getting rid of the chapter, then "expel" or "expunge" (several other alternatives are available) would be suitable for that line. Debbie Mills-Kelly February 5, 2014 at 1:40 PM Thank you again Robert.. :) I will be correcting those typos I promise.. thank you again for reading !! :)

Dah Dahlusion February 3, 2014 at 10:56 AM "Extending a hand to clean white parchment that waits for me on the floor of this page"—powerful imagery. And then this upbeat closing: "Swimming back up to the top of the waters as a new hope is defined, the birth of a poet"—Bravo, poet!
