Doesn’t it whisper
in the dark
when all is still
beneath frozen foundations?
Leaving ourselves behind
taking another path
we deemed as destiny
blinded by hope-
Dancing with someone else's
shadow, always dreaming
of the one we sacrificed
her song as distant as stars.
How did we ever forget
the words?
mmm...pathes we chose to leave...in hope of another...only to realize we would have been better off staying where we were
ReplyDeleteDancing with someone else's shadow...so evocative, Lisa. Hard to dance with a shadow when one is really thinking about someone else.
ReplyDeleteit's better not to pay heed to the nightsong...nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteTo dance with someone's shadow... yes I can see how that's a way to loose the words.. somehow we have to learn to see our own shadow.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece. :-)
ReplyDeleteZQ
"dancing with someone else's shadow" love that...abandoning one's self happens too often...beautiful piece
ReplyDeletehow did we ever forget the words... the question lingers on...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and arresting: "how did we ever forget the words?"
ReplyDeleteId think that dreaming of "of the one we sacrificed" does not bode well for the future.
ReplyDeleteStrongly moving piece Lisa. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLeaving one's own bliss behind is never a path toward wisdom, is it?
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone, always so nice to hear from you.
