Then cry when their feet get burnt
Others hunger for revenge
Never realizing its them they hurt

Me, I choose to dance in the light

Some gossip and put down others
Superior is how it makes them feel
They need to check their own backyard
For the garbage there is all to real

Me, I choose to dance in the light

I am no better than any of the rest
I am a sinner, definitely No Saint
I try to live, as I believe
But a picture of perfection I ain’t

Me, I choose to dance in the light

I merely state what I have seen
So excuse me I judge not you
Each has to find their spot
And dance to their dance without cue

Me, I choose to dance in the light

If I dance in the light I glow
With an innermost radiance
And even in the darkest hour
In the light of my soul I will dance

This poem really touched me. I've been trying so hard recently to be like this; its easy to slip back into old ways, but it feels so much better to dance in the light!
Lovely poem,

Dom

Choice and free will, perhaps some of God's greatest Gifts to us mortals. Though we must live within the bounds of fate we do choose our very own destinies. At least in our deeds for though God choose our endings we have been given the privilege not given to other of God's creation. We choose to live and to take action according to our choices. We are not bounded by our forms but we are free to become what we may be. You have chosen to dance in the light and that is perhaps sometimes, the most difficult of choices. To take responsibility for one's life and say Hey! I choose to be in the light, I choose to be the light regardless of whatever is around me. Or at least the protagonist in your poem does. It is a courageous choice to dance in the light. But I personally think that it is a fine one. A wonderful topic and a poetic expression that is rather skilled in its execution.
