and so we dance

and so we dance

arms stretched high

fingertips touching the ceiling of sky

calling up a tidal wave of smiles

dispelling the tension lining our worn out faces

washing worry away

and so we dance

painting the walls with liquid laughter

and the heady sweat of letting go

psyches transformed like floating ribbons

flashing purple red green and gold

and so we dance

eyes closed in blissful reverie

addicts high on the I-feel-good twin opiates

rhythm and melody

we dance a passion, a dream

a hunger, a joy

we dance a loss, an anger

a wish, a need

but mostly, yes mostly we dance a joy

and so we dance

the dance of trees

limbs flailing reach extending

wild and wanton with orgasmic abandon

forever held

forever lead

by the master wind’s hand

pushing in

pulling out

firmly holding the damp give of our back

and so we dance

we glide

we flow

we hold on

we let go

we let go

we jive

we gyrate

we shimmy

we shake

we keep moving

to know

that we are alive

yes we dance to know

that we are dancers

encircling our own destiny

and so we dance
