~ HER LIFE'S DANCE ~

~ HER LIFE'S DANCE ~

Awakening
She found she was still dreaming,
Still sleeping 
A long and lavender-lidded sleep,
This delicately constructed purgatory
Between being asleep and just 'being',
Began to make some sense.
With a sudden burst of cloud-like upheaval
Her mind shattered the roof of glassy conception,
She sat straight up within her bed
And she swore in an intimate prayer,
That she'd truly tasted being dead.
She'd been reborn into life's dance
A symbiotic ballet of truthful romance,
Facing a wall of force-fed comprehension
A mini-minuet 'twixt elegance and tension,
A most dazzling display of light in the darkness
Shining blades of bluntness sizzling into sharpness,
She swore, never again,
Never again would she take for granted
The gift of wonder found in sleep supplanted,
By the watchful eye within life's dance
By the wisdom found in taking a chance,
By the restorative nature of morphing scenes
And the genius of life's dance,
Found deep in her dreams...
