Modern Shakespearean Sonnet 69. A Dancer Moves, by Andrew Barker.
I carry with me nothing known this hard.
Two generations circled in my fist
With only fingers used to point towards
The future, wide enough to hold the past,
And cut through those glass windows on the world,
To dance among the differences within.
I had to learn to improvise, I learned,
To keep my centre, know the moment when
The music indicates the time to change.
You have to stay alert to recognize
That beat we tap will rarely stay the same;
The syncopated rhythm of our lives.
For when you’re unfulfilled at what you do
The past you hold can help you let it go.
Andrew Barker.
Analysis.
For this sonnet I wanted to make a comparison between the inevitable movement of change in life and the grace of dance, and had the image in my head of an inherited diamond ring on a finger in clenched fist. The overlap of those two ideas is this poem.
It's about ambition and it's about influence.
Andrew Barker
