The Dancer

   Sat, November 24, 2007 - 1:28 AM
She moved as if the wings of angels where lightening her steps,
As if the winds had taken hold of every part of her
and the moonlight was touching her soul.

And as the romance of the music and the dance became her paradigm,
And the lover within her only love,
She danced into the sacred fires
where surrendered passions ignite the ancient songs
And the essence of a heart fulfilled stood naked for all to see.

.............................................................................................
Posting some writings and poetry from the past and writing some new......needing another outlet besides dance in which to bare my soul....the forces and inner voices are telling me...go for it......but It brings with it a frightening vulnerabilty so I will only start with the safest and prettiest stuff....and then maybe, with more courage, I will say and show more. There are whispers around me saying "it is time"....that speaking of some of my journeys thru life and dance will be beneficial in ways not yet known....

so. prompt me if you dare so I can see how I fare.....help this part of me emerge if it sparks an interest... more stuff on "my space" but can't create a link at the moment.....so look there for the beginnings of some deeper revelations...............thanx-----Rafi'ah

That's very beautiful!

I wish I could write poetry....

A friend of mine recently published much of her poetry, much of it pretty intense.

I think it's admirable. It's hard to put that deeper part of oneself "out there."

Keep it up for sure!

Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this Rafi'ah... very beautiful and very moving. I'm waiting with bated breath to see more! There are few things more intimidating than writing poetry, because the best poetry does bare the soul and empty the contents of your heart for everyone to see... and few things more rewarding as well. :) Except maybe dance itself!
