let our Poetry Dance

let our Poetry Dance

i heard her faint whisper

delicately caress the ear

of my soul

she was beckoning me

to put aside “Life”,

for she wanted to play

it was time for us

to frolic

and whirl

and spin

and dance again

pick up your pen

and let me speak

life unto life

for i have

a verse or two

or more

to disperse

to the world

yes, my beloved

has awakened

and cast gently open

the door to my heart

for she wanted

desired

aspired

to embrace

those who would live

this day

and become

the way

with poetry

let us play

my dear muse

let us impart smiles

who would not refuse thee

to those who would hear

and understand

and love to all the rest

come my Muse

for the day

this day

is required of thee

teach me to be clear

as we endear

our longings for peace

and tranquility

to the vision of man

and let us not

forget me not

compassion

let our passion be

to build Castles

for all the Children

and fill

all the rooms

with dreams

that bear no limitations

let these dreams

be ever abundant

and self manifest

with astute

acutely sagacious

possibilities

that can not be rebuked

nor assigned to refrain

and let all see

and believe

that

all that is conceived

is achievable

let us pen a verse

or two

or more

that will light

the unused candles

in the closets of Man’s souls

let us open that door

that holds at bay

the dreams of this

eternal day

yea

let our Poetry Dance
