This poem is brilliant! What a cascade of metaphorical language! I loved the way you found so many metaphors and let them carry the weight of meaning. I especially liked the second stanza with DANCING ON THE EDGE OF ABANDON. That's the kind of experience in dancing that might get an old stick in the mud like myself on my feet! I also liked the metaphor of TIME in the penultimate stanza (I lost count of stanzas!) , but it is the last stanza where your figurative language takes flight and brings the whole poem to a fulfilling end. It's just breath-taking!

Watch how I gather the song, in the merry of the music, of days I kept valued. Really very beautifully expressed every line. I find this poem more valuable and expressive in nature. Thanks for sharing.
