POEM

Dancing Pina Dancing Through Time

It is beautiful, this Life
When motivated by great Ideas
And Visions. Bausch, her Being
Is inside her Dance. Whilst tor others
It is the love for another, losing
Yourself and worries in the living
Waters of the Other, diluting
It out, so it no longer is able to
Dig into your Mind, to shift it
Away from the Vertical ; That stable
Middle. It may seem that the World
Is full of ugliness and vagueness,
But it is not always, so.
You have your Life ; She has hers ;
A chance meeting formed
An Imaginary Binary : A Third  Space
To go to, to be Happy. Life is
Constantly organising and reorganising
Itself telescoping itself into the Future ;
It never goes under the Line
For long, it bounces up
To the surface to feel
The warmth of the Sunlight.
It remains indestructible like a Diamond
