I Have Danced…
I have danced the sun up
beat the dirt with my feet
sending deep the call
waking the earth
I have danced in the darkest hour
the inky void that precedes the dawn
icy shadows chilling my bones
breath suspended in the air like
tiny clouds of hope, mist of dreams
I have danced in the cold light of day
before the warmth of the sun breaks
when the light is harsh and unkind
the chill of night still lingering in the air
frigid feet marching, determined
to ignite the light once again
I have danced until shining beams
of that glorious gilded orb broke
over the faces of my tribe
my friends, dearest ones
sacred companions in the dance
I have danced as I felt
the growing glow of our stellar sphere
sending golden sparkles splashing
across the smiles of bodies
caught up in cosmic collaboration
I have danced the day away
in sweltering, shimmering heat
in the blazing mirage of the desert
sweat running in rivulets
down my writhing back
raining onto the parched earth
the blessed water of creation
I have danced the sun down
watched the blinding red face
dip below the horizon
the shiver of the evening air
caressing me with cooling kisses
brushing the dampness from my brow
I have danced a greeting
to the mysterious magical moon
our planet’s precious partner
in the whirl and the twirl
the ebb and the flow
in silvery symbiotic rapture we are
bonded forever in divinity
I have danced in the dark
in the cold and the black
around the bonfire I have leapt
into the shadows I have skipped
writing spells with my limbs
articulating the message of heaven
with every subtle undulation
I have danced by the ocean
my steps echoing the pulsing rhythm
the pounding of earth’s blood
breaking onto the rocks
the constant current lapping away
slowly steadily crushing mountains
into the dust I stomp beneath my feet
I have danced in forests
embraced and cradled by
the arboreal gods moving with me
feet moving softly over strong roots
branching arms reaching up to the sky
my body twists and bends like
the sacred trunks bowing to the wind
I too am a divine bridge
between earth and sky
I have danced on mountains, I have danced in deep valleys
I have danced in wind, I have danced in rain
I have danced in the spaces that connect us to each other
I have danced to be broken, I have danced to heal
I have danced in joy, I have danced in sorrow
I have danced with friends, I have danced with enemies
I have danced until my back ached and my feet were sore and swollen
I have danced until dancing was all that existed
I have danced entire worlds into being
I have danced until the end of time
I have danced
And still I dance
as I am filled with bliss, I dance
as God’s giggle washes over me
tickling my toes curling
flexing and pointing
tiny bones that hear a tiny song
always ready to engage
forever listening for the rhythm in the magic
tapping out codes to capture
pure spirit and tether it
just for a moment
on Earth as it is in Heaven
