sometimes my dance with autumn

stanza 5

sometimes
my dance with autumn ~

they are beautiful
I recognize

yet the world

seems askew

I dance on
wondering
what will come next

in this dance

stanza 1
stanza 2
stanza 3
SAD

Bo Mackison said...: Lovely. Yes, for me, a synonym for autumn is askew. And waiting for what will come, yes. You are speaking with my soul...; November 14, 2010 at 8:06 AM

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
