Contrast In My Dance Poem by Bonnie Shipman

Contrast In My Dance



If danger didn't hide so well
in the shadowed, lazy days
If loneliness could lose
its thin-ground edge
If life was truly warm as
sunlight in those autumn trees...
I'd find myself a strong and laughing
partner and we'd dance carelessly
But shakings nest precariously
in these plastered walls of hearts
And somberly, unafraid but solemnly
I dance with scarred hands held in mine

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My perspective on one day as a symbol of the dual nature of life- shadowed yet hopeful.
