Dream Dancing



painting by Pedro Alvarez.


Dream Dancing

“Those who were seen dancing were thought to be
insane by those who could not hear the music,”
--Friedrich Nietzche.

Pepper breeze,
          melting lull,
               rose leaves,
                     dawn ghost,
                          curling bubble breath,
                      Spring balloons,
               fear giggle,
        green breeze,
cloud journey,
         storm scars,
                whisper jar
                        drizzle echo
                                    shimmering slip,
                        twisting leaves,
                  sound cue,
           spilling sparks,
   giggle shadow,
flickering,
dream dancing--
opening into that
actual

blissful hope.

YES. Sigh. I LOVE hope being the end tail of this. Lovely.

Oh I do love that you did a second... that winding path towards the end is excellent.

Nice quote by Nietzche and ending on the bliss of hope which some can't feel.

Dream Dancing - Now that was some tango with words.

Love the quote you used. Your poem looks and feels like a Tango!

Dude. This is awesome. The way you play with spacing is always so effective. I misread "jar" as "jazz." That's what you are --- a whisper jazz jar artist. A most captivating and intriguing poet. Love your work, G.

YES...LOVING this and the image too! I feel almost like the dancers are "dipping" at the end.....into that blissful hope. LOVE it!

Love the swirl and sway of your lines to create the dance....but "pepper breeze" will stay with me.
