A Midnight Dance

Clothed in only the skin I was born with
My soul soars freely in the light of the moon
I leave behind the darkness of my earthly trials
Knowing I will return to them all too soon

I leave behind the bondage of possibility
Allow myself to wallow in my own desire
I clear my mind of other people’s perceptions
Fanning my freedom like the flames of a fire

I search for harmony, for peaceful co-existence
For insight and understanding of the fruit I bore
Naked only in the corners of my heart and mind
Free from the chains of vulnerability that I once wore

No longer do I wear my heart upon my sleeve for display
Nor do I wait for others to confirm what I should feel
Letting my soul wander freely in the light of the moon
Exploring all the many emotions that are so real
