Dance, Laugh, and Sing

By Thomas Davis

We dance.  We dance! Into infinity
And laugh and sing our time-bound life of songs
As beauty swirls in butterflies and great, wide plains
That swarm with wildbeest that move and throng

Into time’s boundaries as if time is a myth
That doesn’t limit life’s continuance
Through generations that will spin and move
And dance, yes dance! Into the issuance

Of what must be forever true and real
Though death forever brings its day of doom
When heartbeats fail and flowers lose their bloom
And every one of us is set into our tomb.

So, dance! Dance as infinity wheels stars
Across the skies and gifts us love and joy
Inside the room we live inside each day,
Dance! Love! Be what you most enjoy.

A poem is…. an enchanted song,

Blue on yellow, yellow on green.
The white cloth-patched sky belongs
With the thin gauze look
Of a dragonfly’s wings.

A poem is…. a conversation
Just heard by you and me,
A laugh, a smile, a deep black sky,
And the ever changing sea.
