“all your poems are amazing! I’ve told you this before, but you really are among my very favorite poets living or dead. You’ve got a way of distilling a feeling, a moment, or capturing the essence of a place or idea like very few.” -coloradopoet 1/29/21 https://mtaggartwriter.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/poem-have-a-day/

The Dance of the Living
Written by
coloradopoet

The shadows are uncovered

I’m not afraid to stare back at where they lived

they don’t frighten me as they once did

their looming shapes and giant mighty waving arms have lost their power

they don’t define me

they won’t confine me

I am dancing down the road in sunlight

Unafraid to reach for what I want

Unapologetic for who I am

This dance is from the sun and rain

the leaves, the stones, the dirt and all living things

It is the dance of the living; the heart beating, the eye blinking, the breath moist, the mind thinking

*Portland, Oregon*
