Fear is a rose with black mask.
Fear is what makes us move.
It is the next step we ought to take.
the uncertainty of turning left or right.
I fear me, I, all and nothing.
Then I walk. I take the road… I step out.
I fall, I run, I dance, I jump.
Fear is the fuel that motivates the one
who thinks challenges are exhilarating
escapades, possibilites, non-sense.
Uncover the rose with me.
Challenge your limits.
Jump those barriers.
Dance with me.

I love the unexpected insight to turning around the darkenss and ending line specially:
Uncover the rose with me.
Challenge your limits.
Jump those barriers.
Dance with me.
Thank you for being inspired by my line ~ Wishing you Happy Holidays and best regards ~

A delightful close, as Zorba asked his boss after everything went wrong, “Did you say dance, boss?”, finding the joy midst the chaos.

Yes, let’s do jump those barriers. Freeing verse rather than just free verse. Letting go of the darkness….I like that.

Nice!

I like how you push through that fear and end up dancing. And I like how Grace’s line inspired your writing. So nice when that happens.

Yes this works… Turn up the volume high and dance to open up the darkness.., the first line really hooked me. 😉

Not dancing, but walking, freely. That’s me. Well done!

There is a lot to be said about skipping the editing process because it seems so fresh and alive when we just let the words flow–your words prove that. And, yes, it’s good to let it rest and then edit.

I read this as an enticing invitation to be free! Beautiful!

“Embrace your fear.” One of my favorite thoughts when stepping out of the proverbial box.

And yes.. there is science
to dance as well as art..
as a free verse
dance of
life frees
positive
emotions
integrates
senses.. increases
focus.. short term
working memory
now of cognitive
executive functioning
dance with no rules
of science but
science
that is
art
as free
no where to
go but move
as ART.. and
fear falls
far
far
behind
until it disappears
in a cloud of star dust
and we become
danCinG LOVE
Stars
of the day
and night
of dArk coming
AS new liGht JuST
now.. Awakening
Force of Dance FREE1!..:)
