The Dance

by Daisy Chiftjian   Nov 14, 2006


"This Big Hush" plays in my ears
Its bewitching melody making me reach into my depths;
Slowly I start to become undone
As I decompose to identify every emotion...

Closing my eyes, I trace the fence around my soul...
Pain is tugging at my mind fighting for its survival,
Trying to resurface from its evasion,
As it struggles to embrace my being...

Holding a burning torch,
It takes my hand and escorts me
To where the agitated fervors
Waited for the revival of their destiny...

Anger was the first to reach out,
Then Longing was soon to follow up;
Injury didn't stay behind
Neither did Sadness nor Grief.

My back heavy with these burdens, Pain pulled me back to itself;
It twirled me around in a swirling dance
Till I felt weightlessness in the heaviness
And in the light I saw the darkness...
