LIFE'S DANCE...

LIFE'S DANCE...

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

Tony you are a true poet in every sense of the word
This is amazing don't think I'll ever look at dreams in
this way again - ballet your words are stunning
quite breath taking - beautiful and the picture is also.
STARS all the way.

Dear Tony,

Suspended in a sopor
Realization comes her way
That dreams become reality
When the darkness turns to day

.
For the minuet of millenniums
Her Soul will e'er enhance
Those images ever present
When she wakens to "Life's Dance"

Peace, Love, and Sweet Dreams,
Larry xxx

Dear Tony,

Speaking of "rocking", Cherie told us you killed it at your performance. 
Can't wait to see it.
Can't wait to meet you.
Can't wait to do some duets with you

Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
