The Dance

Every night I dance with the memories and all the pain. When I wake in the morning I'm never the same. All day I go through with a constant ache. Questioning the day's resolve and will I make. And then like a butterfly my spirits lift. No more rowing through life's current now I just drift. Falling asleep to the music of all songs I chose. Each tune playing a memory as my eyes close. The melody of hope to fill the heart. Last night of the wrestling the dance to part.

Wonderful! We ache, we get butterflies,we wrestle but it is when we let go and allow ourselves to drift with each sweet memory that we lift ourselves and fly, looking upon our lives with clarity and hope!

Thanks Kim. Maturity seems to be a good catalyst for being able to have some of the insight that you describe. At least for me. Thanks for leaving a comment!
