by kerli-tulva

*I asked Life to dance with me And He brought me to the hardest steps The turns and twists I never expected The severest discipline and arduous regime. Life told me to be careful and precise To not step on others feet and to keep My own pace and rhythm to decide. I was astounded how difficult it is To really dance with Life and not to weep. There were so many techniques to study And sure I was, it will take the whole of my life To learn to dance with the best slenderness Flying along with Life, as it is Him who always Takes the lead and steers you along your path. But Life was so eager to take me to dance So I went along and learned the lessons The wondrous steps I will always remember And yet I have so many to learn.*
