Dance in the Night

Dance in the Night

Poem by : Emma J. Willden

Poem created on: November 11,2019

We fall

We stand

We trip

We catch ourselves

We laugh

We walk

We run

We dance all around

The wind of life blows

Not able to be caught

Dancing all around

We strive to do our best

 Yet time and time again

We fall to our knees

We fall to the ground

On bended knee we grasp        

We grasp, we plead

For hope, for peace

We look around the world

We look around for life

We seek for a hand

We seek for a dance

That ends with grace

That ends with peace

Yet here I stand

Here I kneel

Bleeding tears

Bleeding choices

On bended knee

I look up to you

Bowing my head

Knowing the choice

Yet you place your hand

Upon my head

Filled with knowledge

Thoughts of Gethsemane

You take my hand

Pulling me to my feet

Standing, my gaze down

Yet you embrace me still

I a sinner

Know what I have done

Yet time and time again

I dance with the devil’s hand

Yet you don’t leave me

You don’t forget

That you paid the price

For my dance in the night.
