I will dance

I will dance because I need to

Dance because the world spins

faster than we know

Dance because the currents

call on me to throw

my coalescing self into the swirl

Dance because in dancing I will know

from the pull of the dynamic

who I am

I will dance

I will dance because it feeds me

with the rhythm of connection

and the instant-forged affection

of the spin

Dance because I learn, thus,

the elemental oneness

that summons us together from within

I will dance because this gift of dance is given

This gift of music which has been expressed

to fill us with our heritage of heaven

and let us know for sure that we are blessed.
