The most common gift
10.29.05 (2:13 pm) [edit]Of all God’s gifts
Bestowed on our race,
Dancing is one of the greatest,
The most common,
The most enjoyed
Over all the rest,
The movement with the sound,
The fire in the veins,
The ecstasy,
The madness,
Being enveloped by rhythm,
Flying upward with the beat,
Diving into the sound,
Laughing for the joy of it all;
The sweat running down the body,
Gleaming on the skin,
Salty, pungent,
Burning and blurring the eyes,
Ignored for the movement
The happiness
Contentment…..
Flying in ecstatic joy.
In heaven I will dance
Others can sing
For movement
The way I express myself
And perhaps give glory
To God.
