I dance for as the beat hits my bones
As I pour into movement the lightness and the weight
I discover the medicine for every ail
When I am worried about tomorrow
I offer these worries at the altar of my feet
To carry them and unravel and return them to dust
And when today is wonderful
I offer that beauty to my hands to celebrate
embracing the wind, spreading into the emptiness
And when the Now tightens and clenches me
I rock those claws with my hips
For juices of life to soak and dissolve them
and when I am thrown around and breaking apart
I surrender to my spine and pray
to be held and let go, received and open
And when I am alone, and I don’t know, and I yearn
I hand that yearning over to my breath
to weave the bridge towards the Divine
For as I am danced
In the depths of my being, from the very core
Springs strength
and love
and beauty.
