Dancing in the light

camille

Dancing in the light.


To thrive in the light you must first see the dark,
The tarnish that shadows the bright.
The fearful and ugly, the cruelty and pain,
The journey through hell on your plight.

You must face the deepest and darkest of fears,
That lurk in the depths of your mind.
A battle that one must encounter alone,
Solo mission for each of mankind.


You may seek one to love or bring forth life anew,
But these things alone won't sustain.
Conforming to others , Pursuing great wealth,
This never will deaden the pain .

Your soul cannot lie , it has no facade,
It is able to only do right.
It is only when one can stand tall and alone,
That their soul can roam free in the light.

    I really liked this poem and the notion that you must first experience the bad to appreciate the good.

    HI CAMILLE ~ i AM PLEASED YOU ARE GETTING SOME POSITIVE COMMENTS ON YOUR POEMS. In my experience every cloud really does have a silver lining ~ but (as you say) it is only when we experience the blackness of the cloud that we appreciate the silver of the lining ! As you say in your last line freedom is also important. When we allow our soul to be fettered we can't see the light fro the chains. An elegant poem ~ four quatrains (good length) and a consistent xaxa xbxb etc rhyme pattern. Titles are important and "Dancing in the Light" is perfect. I often choose a poem because of the title ~ or the Poet ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
