To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.
Creativity flourishes in chaos
Even more than structure and order
For complacency will not set in
When disruptions make you resist…
You start to think outside the box
As the box when open is full of possibilities in the disruption.
So add a bit of randomness
Incorporate changes and unpredictability…
In the chaos of it all
There would be trial & error
New ways appear out of nowhere.
As creativity flourishes in disruptivity.
Life is born
Thoughts arise
Creativity spurts
Dreams envisioned
Passions pursued
In hope of dawn.
Yet night falls
Beween the dawns
Some dreams shatter
In the darkness unknown
While some see
The light of day!
And Life is bettered
Such is the circle of life
Flowing in a rhythm
Of its own making!
Every Life chalks it’s path in time
Arrives its meaning for itself
The journey is unparalleled
And uniquely carved.
Such is the very nature of life
And at every moment
One can’t help
But wonder…
Such is the wonder of life!
Take a coal seller a scholar and a poet out in the fields
The poet will be silent and full of wonder The scholar will look and think The coal seller will probably search for blackberries and mushrooms.
Take them to the theater And only the coal seller isn’t yawning.
The person who prefers what is alive To what is artificial Is the man who thinks sings and dreams.
The head of the coal seller is full of fantasies.
I came across this intriguing poetry by the great Spanish Poet Antonio Muchado. I found some of his works fascinating . And some of his works are deeply reflective and often spiritually and ethically inclined.
Shared this particular poem for its perspective… do you agree?What is your interpretation of this poetry? Would love to know! Savvy
