dancing with the beloved

 

“…the beloved has turned my mourning into dancing….”

-Psalms 30.11

 

all the others

love to lose themselves

in the roles they love to play

 

they sneak into the forest to hide

within the purple shadows of the golden sun

not realizing that you are both

 

in the roles they love to play

all the others

love to lose themselves

 

within the silver shadows of the alabaster moon

they hide behind their shimmering masks

forgetting that you are the masks

 

love to lose themselves

in the roles they love to play

all the others

 

merely pretending knowing the rules they

within the game they do not know how to play

ardently cheating themselves of the victory they seek

 

ardently cheating themselves of the victory they seek

within the game they do not know how to play

merely pretending knowing the rules they

 

love to lose themselves

in the roles they love to play

all the others, beloved

 

forgetting you are all the masks in the play

facelessly hiding within the shimmering shadows

silver light mirroring gold within gold mirroring silver light

 

in the roles they love to play

all the others, beloved

love to lose themselves

 

not realizing you are both

golden shadows hiding and the shining purple sun

they hide within the ever creeping forest

 

all the others, beloved

love to lose themselves

in the roles they love to play

 

as shadows they play silly games

hiding behind masks and within roles

playing the silly games silly lovers love to play

 

but i love to play, beloved, playfully with you

as laughingly you dance me into the game of reality

taking my hand you laugh me into your alabaster dancing

 

at the laughter dancing the play, the play dancing the laughter

 

stillness dancing silence,

yours is the laughter, beloved

silence dancing stillness

 

i am your dancing poet

dancing in your laughter

beloved i am your beloved
