Taking Karen's Blog To the Next Level

Dancing 
It is the body breaking space in shards 
It sounds like rain on glass 
It looks like light with fractured wings 
It feels kissing under the moon 
It makes me feel I am in paradise 

Undreaming space in time, time in space
The heart beating like caged wings
Glass shattering while hope sings inaudibly
I catch the feathers of stars, and laugh
Deliciously wrapped in their delight
This poor Icarus dancing in the sun
Knows clouds are brittle floors of dreams.
Dance is the synthasia of the soul.

Taking Karen's blog to the next level
I find I am still a child
Wanting to hold on to passing time
Wanting to dance forever
In my mothers arms
In the comgfort of her womb
Where there is no sun or moon
But the peace of the waves
Dancing on the shore of my heart.
