The Dance The dance is confident. Where may I locate him? As I uncover my soul, I find him residing within my very being. It is only here that I witness my face, No longer blushing with pink strands of blush, My tresses turning silvery grey against the black tinge of my decaying teeth. In a single lifetime, How many chances does the heart have to face the empty portals of life? Like a vibrant youth, Now impervious to my new complexion, I am mesmerized, A ladder never before climbed. I witness the peculiar and nameless inviting me to the gentle sway of the ocean, Virtuous, Ordinary, And whole. Finally enamoured by life itself.
