Dancing Along the Darkness
Folder:
2013 There's something unique about the darkest clouds...
They carry the most rain
sometimes unabashedly so
But they're the clouds that don't dissipate when pressure sets in
They contain the most depth, character, and beauty
Show me the stormy aftermaths of yesterday
All the twisted timber
All that limber lumber
flicked away like toothpicks acting prickly
in a manner best described as the savage antithesis
of a docile slumber
Unyielding in their power and determination
they out work ordinary, puffy counterparts
yet they maintain their magnificence
and grace under strain
possessing all the resonating curves
and stick-to-your-ribs fervor
So unapologetic, yet vulnerable to fronts
dark clouds master the majesty of illusion
so let the water drench the pores
and they'll make due in the deep end
There's no lotion required here...
save that burn cream for the sun children.
What I'd give to embrace a tangible darkness
by dancing in this rain
everyday
Love it.
Love your poem.
