~ LIVING THE DREAM ~

{life's dance}

~ LIVING THE DREAM ~

Awakening, she found she was still dreaming
Still sleeping a lavender-lidded sleep
A delicately constructed purgatory
Between being asleep, and just being
Which began to make some sense...

Then, a tiny burst of cloud-like upheaval
Her mind a shattered roof of glassy conception
As she sat straight up within her bed
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 minuet, between elegance and tension
A dazzling display of light in the darknessĀ 
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
Oh the genius of Life's Dance, found in her dreams....

Tony Taylor

Wow, Tony, that was beautiful.Ā 
It has a dreamy quality, and I just love many of the lines in it, like:Ā 
'Still sleeping a lavender-lidded sleep' and 'By the restorative nature, of morphing scenes
Oh the genius of Life's Dance, found in her dreams....' Beautiful ending.Ā 
I'm sorry I don't have more time, but just wanted to let you know that was great.Ā 
Matthew.Ā
