Dance #1
She for one does not fall in love
She only falls in his arms
And he lifts her up
Every time.
She waits for him
To fall in her arms
ready to lift him up
Every time.
They dance
And flow in each others’ arms
Shaping each other
In the best shape
They can imagine
While the music plays
The tunes of their days
They rise
Patiently stepping over nights
Towards fresher tomorrows
They put their energy into this dance
To the tune of pointless prayers
Asking to see those
Buried into the past
Calling melancholically
Upon memories
that have lost
Their way back .
The tune is happy
Though unbelievable .
Voicing their longing
Giving words to hopeless hope
Not losing the power to imagine
Alternate futures sustains them
To go through with this dance
With light in their eyes
May you never lose the wondering spirit,
And the courage to wander
In and out of your comfort space;
The curiosity to see what lies behind
The bravery to go explore through
tiny windows showing the promise of light.
May you breath in invigorating cool air
And breath out warmth through each pore.
May you carry your body and soul swiftly
towards the future you want to inhabit,
hand in hand, you and your friend.
I give you a mountain of peace
But you may need to climb to sit on the peak
I give you a magic wand radiating joy
But you have to learn and create it each day
I give you fresh air to energize you
But you have to breath it
I give you a brain but you have to feed it
I give you a body but you have to work it
I give you hands to hold other hands,
To make gifts and keep giving.
