Dream Dance

  DREAM DANCE I held her frail body in my arms:“ Don’t worry, mom, I will dance you to the other side.”The music began to play as we twirled around the room. She smiled and lay her head close to mine In the light of the moon. She looked up and “thank you, “ I heard her say As she sighed and slowly slipped away


  COMMENT: This was an actual dream I had after my  mom died  from Parkinsonian dementia. Two years later I was diagnosed with an agressive form of Parkinsonism, Explains much of my writing.

Lovely

J.B. Longo-Geremia :) Now, besides a lost love affair, you can understand the other side of my poetry.

Life IS a dance…. we all

Life IS a dance.... we all dance with one another in the many ways of music, silence, poetry, war and loss. Heartbreakingly lovely poem... my mother died in my arms. Welcome Longo I think I shall love your poetry. ~A "Speech is blasphemy. Silence a lie. Above speech and silence is a way out." I-tuan.
