My Stage
Happy National Poetry Month from Stance on Dance!
POEM AND ILLUSTRATION BY LIZ BRENT
My stage:
Red rug
Inlaid with gold
Protective symbols of
“Stay” and “Play”
My audience:
Dear Divine.
I am the night
The night is I:
Limbs
Ground
Reach
Gather
Strength
Release
Worry
Trace
Shields
Draw
Back the bow
Stretch
Time
I am the
Golden arrow
Arching forward
To meet
The Earth
I am the
Spear tip
Heralding change
In the
Air
I am the night
The night is I:
All a-glitter with
Star
Explosion
