Elise Skidmore

A Dance of Dreams is the eagerly anticipated third book from acclaimed poet Elise Skidmore whose poetry reaches into the heart and brings us together in the dance we all share.

A Dance of Dreams

We live in a dance of dreams,
glissade from fantasy
to nightmare
and back again.
Sometimes sweet,
Sometimes bizarre,
Sometimes graceful,
Sometimes with the wobbly legs
of a newborn fawn.
We learn new steps
as we jump to unknown futures
and grow confident in choreography
perfected over time.
Sometimes we dance solo,
other times we revel
in glorious pas de deux,
but always we are part of the corps.
Life is but a dream we create;
leap into the dance and let yourself soar.
