~ Sun's Dance ~

Another of my inspired poems from a fellow Bubbler’s awesome art
This time the brilliantly talented Mr Roger Sampson
Please view his stunning portfolio and especially his piece The Dance

Thank you Roger for all your inspiration enticing me to improve with every word!

Enjoy! :o)

~ Sun's Dance ~ belongs to the following groups:

Light In The Darkness, Live, Love, Dream: and WMG

In stillness and darkness the reeds stand sentential
waiting for the magic to come
The water is lulling lapping enticing
wait for it … wait for it …
patience

No herald will call announcing the moment
no watch can be certain the time
At first it’s a murmur as breezes do whisper
not long now … not long now …
believe

Then hush what was that a flicker a beam
the magical dance has begun
In moments the water is carrying dancers …
flickering romances …
magical prancers …
Look!
The dance of the sun!

    Love how you harnessed the anticipation and the eventual joy that comes with the unveiling. Your words match the image beautifully.

    Lol…well, have to say it’s nice to know I was missed!
    I have had some time away from RB with only intermitent participation, had some health issues to attend to with some surgery scheduled recently. Having a few days off work hence some time on RB today. Seems I have missed some exciting things, (have read some of your journal entries etc)...way to go for speaking up Alyssa, am behind you all the way.

    Thank you my friend :o) ♥
    & of course you were missed! I hope all is getting better now!
    Skik is thinking of you too …. [well he’s in Warrnambool and he’s thinking of the bloody gates! lol]
    I too have surgery looming! second week of next month!
    Thankfully though the cause has diminished yet they are still doing the reduction! YAY!!! :o)
    A month ago when it was out of the blue & suddenly in my face I was petrified of it !! But now I have restored my faith in the surgeons and have prepared and so I am ready to see it through! I keep telling myself it will be fine :o) lol
    And how bout that debate :o) .... all I said was …...
    No! Wait! ... Look what happened when I did that already lol
    Good to see you round! :o) Keep Happy Lady Lumi ♥

    The little water ballet nymphs waiting the curtain up call – one can feel the orchestra warming up behind the scenes, the kind of nervous anticipation back stage – incredible rhythm here Alyssa and just perfect imagery to evoke this much welcomed moment. One of your best, my dear – musical, lyrical piece!

  • adgray replied

    Thank you!
    I am so glad this is good – it’s on awesome Roger’s art work so it needed to be no less than excellent! lol
    I didn’t even see the rhythm being ebbing & flowing like a wave until DBA pointed it out lol
    I am so glad it worked :o)
    And I am really please that you liked it :o)
    Thank you for reading my words :o)
