Music tingles the souls of my feet,

The pulse of my heart adjusts to a new beat,

Time and pain wither away

Helping me see light in a brand new day,

The chains of pride have since been broken

Setting free so many words unspoken

So now I'm free to dance

*

For i'll never be outspoken.

Brilliant poem!!!

YAY! he he he!

I think dance is a great way to express oneself without saying much. Personally, I enjoy dancing, it's great for stress-relief!!! Like you said 'Time and pain wither away' as our hearts adjust to a new beat!

Keep up the great work!

From a dancers point of view that was simply perfect! Dance, for me, is a way for everyone to become equal, to become one. That is the purpose after all, to look like one dancer. Awesome job! =) Mandy

Great poem and it hits home for me this morning. There are things I'd like to express, maybe I should dance too? Wonderful job on the poem. It is so easy and flowing. Good work!

Author Comment:

Gracias my dear friend!

Great poem. It flowed nicely and a great topic.

Author Comment:

thanks gypsy! How've you been?

that was a great poem wandy.....

Posted: Jul 19, 2008

Author Comment:

thank you.....

My honest opinion?

I love it; from the beginning which had my feet tingling. The varied rhythm of your lines gives this the feel of a dance. My favourite line is: "The chains of pride have since been broken". That, in itself, speaks volumes. With that, and the dance, and your gift of expression, who needs to be outspoken?

Well done, Wandiola.
Thanks.
