Dance Inside You

People say
Dance like no one’s watching.
Have you?
(Really?)

Do it with me now
inside your imagination
(or for real)

The
thump
thump
thump
of the beat.
The melody
like a wave
rising and falling
pulling you along.
the instrument
of a strangers voice
and words
translated into
movement
feelings.

Eyes closed.
Listening with your
light
(not your ears).

Arms wild twirling
Feet drum jumping
Hips shake circling
Head up swirling

No time to thinkNo time to care
No time to wonder
Just do
Just be
in the beat
In its beauty
In its feeling
In its perplexity
In its vitality.
.
Skip a beat circle around
flying arms in the air
twirl and whirl
sink to the earth
sing smile laugh.

Be still.
Feel your
beat.
Feel your
breath
like a wave.

Feel your heart
pumping
jumping
thud
thud
thud.

Feel your skin
tingling
vibrating
pulsing.

You are the beat
the rhythm
the song
creating energy
that radiates
outwards
to all.

Now I feel

ALIVE!
(Do you?)
