IN LIMBO

In limbo
I dance my dance
between
belief and disbelief,
Now I dance
stepping so lightly
Somehow
ever so slightly
evading the edge
of a precipice of despair
and endless grief.

What is truth?
Once I knew my truth
No rift, no black hole pulling
No children screaming
in an endless void;..
just me
My life, - My only truth

No pain ,
permeating every cell of being
No grief
groping for scarce acknowledgement
for affirmation,
No terror
tearing at the castle walls
so carefully constructed
though out of sight,
No children
constricted
frozen cold.. staring in the darkness
waiting, yearning for warmth and love and light
No
None but me
My life
my truth

[Dancer]

In limbo
I dance my dance
