I really enjoyed reading this poem. It conveys a sense of freedom of self combined with a "marriage" of dreams and reality. I think we all wish to have these things, but cannot even pen them into words. Without knowing what you really want, you most certainly won't get it. It seems you are on the road to merging these two things. I like the comparisons to music and rhythm. My favorite line is "the fluidity pulsating push of the dancer". That is the essence of poetry-art dancing on the page. I also think it is interesting and very uplifting that you have many references to the sky and path to success. The repitition of the stanza beginning with "finally I have...." is a nice way to reinforce the desire to be a a person of self-worth. So many poems rely on the desire for another person to complete the writer (I am to blame for this as well). You have the positive outlook that self completion is necessary before you can be happy.so many people don't get this. It is a hard way to go about life,but a true way as well. I see no spelling errors or words that just don't work. My only question is why you used Shakespeare in the poem. Obviously,he is the ultimate poet and writer,but you seem so self reliant. Maybe he is your favorite. It weakens the poem slightly because it takes the emphasis from the theme of self-procalamtion away.otherwise,this is a good ,solid poem and has a beautiful message.
