The World Is Dancing

by Rachel   Jul 28, 2008


I love to watch a dancer
I delight in the ballet
But the dance I love the most
Is the one I see each day

The slow dance on the streets
There's even singing too
Of the traffic awaiting impatiently
They are dancing for me and you

They are in such a hurry
As they shuffle and shout
But it's an interesting dance
When they're fretting about

I love the swaying dance
Of the wind that carries the leaves
In the looping swooping motion
It is gracefulness it achieves

I adore the prancing snowflakes
That slowly drift to the ground
And the world is silenced in awe
Nothing can crush this peacefulness found

So I hope you see it now
How our whole world is dancing
And in its beauty I hope
It will always be this entrancing

    This was fantastic. Never really thought of everyday things in such a manner before so you pretty much introduced me to something new.
    "I love the swaying dance

    Great write!!! keep it up
    That's a great way to look at life, that's why I like reading poems, because they give me another oppinion and lets me see things through another persons eyes.

    I like the way you compare everyday motion to dancing , as I guess that is what it realy is, A poetic simplicity. To see beauty in the simplest things is not only an art itself but a gift from God to be enjoyed daily and treasured always. ..Jim...5/5
