Much is stole by Death’s advancing
Though naught I’ll Weep for when it goes
But, dear God, I miss the Dancing
Like the Desert misses Rainbows
Why does the Missing leave a hole
When it was never even Found
Why do Stars ache within their Soul
To Dance upon the Earthly ground
Feet are wove through Steps’ entrancing
But Time has brought my Dreams undone
Can’t you see I miss the Dancing
The way the Shadows miss the Sun
Why do my Lies stop Them missing
What Truth I know is Buried there
Why does the Flightless caged bird Sing
Of Dancing through blue Heaven’s air

Exceptional!
This is profound and so very touching. Makes my temples ache before tears. All you've just said makes perfect sense to me as I've pondered the same, questioned the same. You said it so beautifully and I sense you don't fear life or death but view it as a transition, a journey, part of the very reason we are walking. When one comes to such an understanding, questions such as you've posed so eloquently arise and take flight just as the caged bird. Thank you for sharing such wisdom from a heart that I can only surmise, both sings and aches for humanity. Be blessed.--Kel

This is unique, creative, with great rhyme and rhythm. I loved the lines "Why do Stars ache within their Soul
To Dance upon the Earthly ground". I think this really captures the spirit of the prompt poem very well. Thank you for this wonderful entry in my contest!

Brillirant
This is soooooooo good. I tried to pick a line that I like more than the others and I couldn't cause they are all so deep and 'thought inspiring'. I wish everyone could read it.
