Dancing to the beat of my heart
Leaping over memories before me
Touching yester year’s thoughts
Feeling their pulse within.
Dancing to the beat of my heart
Gliding with unsteady grace
Arms stretched in anticipation
That tomorrow will be there.
Dancing to the beat of my heart
There is a fluttering in my pause
Thoughts become today’s reality
Pulsating with rhythm around me.
Dancing to the beat of my heart
Swaying as if tired and worn
Life’s hope seems flown from me
As memories search for meaning.
Dancing to the beat of my heart
Alike figure alone on stage
While onlookers with expectancy
Seek faultless dance to tune.
Dancing to the beat of my heart
The realization dawns upon me
Alone my life will swing and sway
But to own music this star will rise.

Frans, Another wonderful take on this title and such a beautiful birthday wish for pania. I danced softly through your words and let them flow over me. The imagery was lovely and you left me sighing at this one. Thank you for sharing with all of us and keep that ink flowing. Love and God bless, Joyce

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
This is so true, no matter the ups and downs one will always come out bright and happy as long as they follow their own heart and dreams.

This is a delightful read and the well composed repeating line sets it off very well.
Love,

Sometimes repetition gets really old. I know it is a poetic device and it works well to emphasize a thought but it can be over done...just my feeling that it was over done here. Maybe the beginning and end of the poem but not every beginning line ... just my thoughts and my taste.

Thank you for this rich birthday gift. Dancing to the beat of my heart is what I try to do, with unsteady grace, but unchanged determination! Your birthday wish is beautiful, you give me grace with it.
