Danseur Noble

by c.e.guice - Aries

I touched the sun
and did not burn,
and kissed the moon
while flying by.
I brushed a star on my return.
I danced with death
and did not die.

I drank the sea
and did not drown,
and ate the world
like apple pie.
I yelled so loud it made no sound.
I danced with death
and did not die.

My soul, I sold
for things and stuff;
and for a ransom
back I'd buy.
In a world where too much is never enough,
I danced with death
and did not die.

To dance with death and yet not die,
I braved what most folks dare not try,
I stretched my soul beyond my heart,
I gathered years that fell apart,
I wrote my name with words and deeds,
I sang to life's strange melodies.
All these I did with head held high.
I danced with death
and did not die.
