Dancing Days Will Come – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.” Goethe

Dancing Days Will Come

Today I cannot
remain in the subtle mask
that has adopted an
acceptable contentment that
that covers a multitude of
juiceless moments,
an angst in a cloud of 
unknowing, but today I am
knowing the haze in which
I dwell is ever bound in
the imprint of every breath,
yet, like a moth to a flame,
I am drawn continually to
the inviting shimmer of light
on my horizon that is shouting
depression days are over,
dancing days will flourish
deep within the well of my soul.

    ‘…a multitude of juiceless moments…’ – the perfect description of how I’ve been feeling about the imposed limitations under which we’ve living. I’m searching for the light.

    Amen to that! Too much languishing in recent months.
