Rise And Shine Dance~ By David Wyman

3/25/2019

0 Comments

 
for my daughter, in her future 

So the dancing is a cure, the drums wild
like movement in painting--
flashes of color equal
to the strife of future years, careless

of days going off the rails and
emptying into an evaporating atmosphere
or recurring, shaping
a kind of mimicry of motion and intent

that becomes the meme
by which others are recognized, awakening
to an even greater understanding 
of the inner dimensional self—all this, but 

what if there was more, beyond 
these shifting shiny surfaces where 
an ineluctable sea strips away the sand
and gathers us all up, like stars, 

into the spoken word? The real cost
includes the risk of not having—in a future
where each day’s a delight, where
music and dancing fill your house.
