Storm Dancer.

Posted on by Denis Murphy

One of my very first poems. again it doesn’t rhyme or follow my normal format, but I like it as it expresses my feeling of joy and exuberance at the time.

STORM DANCER

Just back from a walk,one happy dog and re invigorated man!

a gale force,stormy day

where the wind blows the cobwebs of the mind away

and tumble dries and discards outdated thoughts

leaving a freshness of being and rebirth !

all the trees are dancing and the rivers are singing wild songs

the crows are playing games of dare with the wind

like demented shadows joyful at being alive…

and I am a storm dancer – I am Life.

I write poems to help me express my emotions and feelings and to help others to try to understand what it is like to live with disability and the erosion of independence and freedom most people take for granted.
