You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance;
you have taken away my sorrow
and surrounded me with joy.
My clutch is tense
the grip firm, unyielding
automatic
holding on to what I know
even knives that cut
slicing pain
into my deepest parts
aching to empty, release
leave myself open
to the exchange
He offers freely
letting go of it all
to be lost in the dance
and submitting these words at the pub tonight

and that is a bit of the peace beyond all other understanding...that even in the pinch of that which knifes us...we have a place of comfort...
So beautifully expressed. Rings true with me too.
Oh, to be willing to be laid open and bare like that--
just incredible writing once again.
I so enjoy your work--
What a beautiful exchange and now able to dance for joy
I like your opening line.
It takes a lot of effort to hold on to what we know.
