    To dance

     I want so bad to dance
    but they will not permitt me
    the dark clouds that loom above
    and yet I'm feeling empty

    the hallow log my soul
    my heart like burning ash
    is swept away in the rivers flow
    and mixed in with all the trash

    I bury my head in the sand
    I can't stand to see you face
    and long so much, I do
    to run away from this place

    but then the sunshine breaks through
    the heat is to intense
    but still there isn't a way out
    and so I take this chance

    a chance for love
    a chance for hope
    a chance that my heart will float
    a chance my soul will over flow and the I would surly know

    the rain is falling just by chance
    to give the tempo and a stance
    so that the darkness will turn from me
    so I can freely dance.

    The first stanza draws the reader in with its compelling images and the entire message is simply beautiful. Well done!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
