Why did the star dust dance

Posted by Mark Heathcote on August 2, 2011 - 03:24

Why did the star dust dance
Why did the rainbow move its stance
Why did I hold your hand and shiver
Why did you move me like a bolder in the river
Why did I feel found and yet mysteriously lost
Why did I tremble in the bough of your arms
Why did I cry and why were you so faux pas...
I don't know the questions to the answers I've lost...
I don't know why my heart is melting why it splinters like glass
I don't know why I kissed you and why I needed it to last
I don't Know why I'm as happy as a chirping cricket in the snow
Maybe I just can't move my stance like a disappearing rainbow.

This poem allowed me a glimpse at something you experienced that was clearly special. I was struck by your openness, it allowed me to be really empathetic. Your use of repetition is really effective as it really drilled your feeling of wondering into me. It was a good read.

Beautiful, a piece that demands to be read again. This line stood out to me the most:

I don't know the questions to the answers I've lost.
