Spirit of the Dance
Reflections of my soul
As I twist, spin, and gracefully glide across the dance floor
I feel my heart and body soar
Yielding an unquenchable hunger and thirst for things unknown
Feel the spirit of the dance
With each beat I free my mind from earthly sorrows
And choose a path with the least resistance
savoring the intense joy and pain of the moment
So dance as if there is no tomorrow
Rise above the earthly woes that leaves a grievous,restless soul
For when I reflect on years gone by
I hope to say I gave it a fighting try
All in the hope of feeling love and completeness
I turn my head to ten o'clock
and truly sense the music with each beat
Understanding that when the dance stops
that I remain unyielding
Selling out or giving up was not an option
For when the dance closes
and my world stops spinning
I realize that I'm not alone
Dance is a reflection of my inner self
Each breath I draw helps me deeply appreciate
the precious, short lived dance of life.
