Graveyard Dance

Graveyard Dance
Written by Stephanie Evelyn


When the day started out
It was claimed by the sun.
Reflected light rolled across ocean waves,
And the wind made it all dance.


I danced with it, since it took my hand.
Spinning like a hurricane,
Laughing until going mad.


Nestled in its eyes, eyes only for me.
The sky could have been blue, black
yellow, or not.
There was no way to tell, wrapped in its arms too tight.


Dancing under the sun and the moon.
Spinning into nothingness,
I rest my head but need to dance again soon. 


No one told me that it could kidnap me. 
Disguised as pride. 
Creating what seems a bigger life. 
A farewell party but the farewell is to me. 


Years ago that day started out,
It was claimed by the sun.
I locked myself away with it
Then said farewell to everyone.
