Dancing

Dancing with shadow and sunlight

Sheltered beneath the trees
I’m carried back to childhood
Dancing with memories.

My soul erupts in motion
Waltzing through all the years
That built upon the framework
Of Life’s laughter and tears.

Sometimes the footsteps taken,

Intricate, cross the stage
Leading me through a story,
Sometimes an empty page

Finds me as still as morning
Before the dancer awakes.
Just with the day’s first promise
I rise and that’s all it takes

To give me the glorious movement
Choreographed in the soul
Ascending beyond the shadows
Pure and beyond control.
