Flight

Dancing to the music
Allowing the rhythm to lead,
The intuitive flow the teacher,
Leading the body in movement ecstatic,
Freeing the mind of narcissistic concern,
Only the moment important,
Surfing the high wave of melody,
Time forgotten,
A taste of the eternal creative moment.

Flying as the body moves,
Mind, body, soul, becoming one,
Flight possible in the dance,
Weightless as the music possesses
Feet forgotten allowing them to move
In effortless union with the sound.
Inner depths opening
Allowing joy to explode,
The tempo faster, movement an end in itself.

A lifetime is one dance,
Sorrow when it ends,
Death of a sort
Yet the memory remains,
Hopeful,
The gift once more will be presented
In simple melodies,
Allowing once again movement free,
Flight, joyfully experienced, pure gift.
