Soul Striving/ dVerse

Soul Striving

Soul striving
Without lying
All based on truth
Straighten your back

Stand up straight
Lift your arms
Directed by the music
What have you found

What are you looking for
Reach for the mirror
Step the circle to the music
The rhythm of the castanets

I gaze into your eyes
We touch souls
Exchange glances
The wind in your hair

Soul striving
Without lying
Your truth or mine
Life is but a dance

I liked the dancing at the end with each other's truth.

I can feel the whirring dancing wildly, the guitars and the rhythmic beating of heels on the dance floor

Would be hard to look into the eye and lie ~ Love the beat of the music there ~

Very beautiful - that glance between two souls.

I like the dance between truths, the tango as it it were.Give and take, promenade, kick and swirl. A truly lovely piece this is.

Life is but a dance and we have the ability to set the tempo and change the steps.

Maybe the soul is like god, the spectral reflection of ourselves in the mirror. Our only true one, the truth of our heart, enrapt with its reflection in the water. Narcissus unbound. Well done -

Surely the soul holds the steps. We long to be in sync and rhythm. Love this poem!

On a third reading, the impact of the last stanza really hit. Beautiful in and of itself.

'Life is a dance' indeed. So, what are we looking for? Well said, Annell.
