Dance

Neville

Dance

 

Dance not upon

Swollen dew soaked

Meadows

But on banks of mill pools

Deep dark and still

 

Where I shall have

My way between these

Shadows

Keen and calling

Deep dark and still

 

Somewhere gasping

Laughing loving mid

Quiet forest

Cool calm and becoming

Deep dark and still

 

Then to dance a dance

Of freedom sighing

Ne'er to come

This way again

Dark deep and still

  • Poetic Dan

    Fantastic! I've had a song call dance monkey in my head all morning, now I'm going to have to play it!

    Really enjoyed what felt like in and out of the dark and light, the dance of life!

  • Fay Slimm.

    So clear your amorous tale I feel I am on that mill-pool bank and dancing in between deep shadows - a lovely first read of my day dear Neville.

    • Neville

      Now that would be something to look forward to ... a fine thing indeed my friend.. Bless you and bless you true...

      What you up to in that forest?! Don't fall on me like a ton of bricks, but that happened on a similar comment I made to a poet. That'll teach me to be too familiar! lol.

        familiarity killed the cat..... and the guinea-pig but hey... thank you for the tip off.... N

        I envision an abandoned place where shadows dance hauntingly, with a stagnant pool of still and dark waters.
        Very enjoyable piece.

          I always imagined these words would be variously perceived and am more than happy with your interpretation... Thank you Suresh....
