The Dance Of Life (3) Poem by RIC BASTASA

the dance of life
is not loneliness

it is meant to be shared
in a circle of friends
two for a tango
three can be a boogie
five or more
in a disco

shouts for joy
energy overflowing
like a waterfall

the dance of life
the ecstasy
the bliss of everyday
the joys of the many

the dance of life
children merry on the playground
mothers watching
and fathers working with so much
awe and inspirations

the dance of life
grandpas holding hands with grandmas
strolling on the beach

the dance of life
sunshine early morning on the grass
moonlight and stars on top of the roof

sipping coffee
reading a book of poems

the dance of life
stopping in a moment and then
contemplating on an end

somehow there is this stopping for a moment
silence
and then returning to the power of fireworks
friends giggling
over an interesting love affair

the dance of life
with you.
