The Dance of Life

We dance in separate rooms,
The Dance of Life -
But briefly, through a doorway
Our lives entwine.

The internet - we met,
We grew and blossomed
Brightly in the virtual sun,
Reality a dark dream
Forgotten in the sunshine.

I fled the dark dream
Soaring in search of virtual sun
My reality poorer
My spirit richer
I blossom brightly still
In the virtual light.

You stayed behind,
You live the dark dream
Like an insect
Trapped in amber anguish,
Like a caged bird
Beating on the bars,
Unloading sorrows
Into my sunlit days

But briefly, through a doorway
Our lives entwine.

Thanks for the kind comments. This was written in 2002 and was rather relevant at the time.
