CIRQE DU SOLEIL
Steve CookI wrote this poem in awe after a visit to Cirqe Du Soleil, Sunday 17th February 2019
Thank you for your reminder
That man can still create fun
And wonders that soar over
Strictures of trite can't-be-dones.
For you defy gravity
With enviable aplomb
That lifts the planetary
Coffin lid nailed down upon
All our moribund desires.
Pirouettes and arabesques
By transcendant dreams inspired,
Flesh like fluid statuettes
Weaves magic from inner fires,
Marionettes freed from strings
Of limitation dance higher.
Scant held by the circus ring,
Your power drawn from the sun,
From the heart of the Earth,
Re-born, the humdrum re-spun
Into magical rebirth
That dances to th'acoustic
Deep underneath the heartbeat
Of the tiring universe,
As your feet ride the drumbeat
Of some new-incanted verse.
Thank you for the joy you bring
To a world trapped in belief
Of the rule of mundane things
And the key to Man's release.
