Dancing In Life

Nothing to see - only darkness,

No sound - only silence,

No movement - ever still,

Unseeing ... unhearing ... unmoving,

Faith's blessings undone,

Time's burdens unrelenting,

Hope's promises unmet,

Life's woes unyielding,

Then a shadow,

My eyes begin to squint,

Then a hum,

My ears hear a faint melody,

Then a twitch,

My muscles slowly relax,

Seeing ... hearing ... moving,

I search to find my liberator.

Suddenly we are dancing,

A beautiful new dance,

A dance that has no past,

A dance born in each moment - gliding,

A dance in steps known - not spoken,

A dance that knows no ending,

A dance of love and perfect synchronicity,

A dance not danced by anyone but we,

We dance to our own song,

A beautiful new song,

A song that has no past,

A song composed in each move - melody,

A song in notes known - not spoken,

A song that knows no ending,

A song of love and perfect harmony,

A song not sung by anyone but we,

Together we see light,

Together we hear music,

Together we dance in life,

Each step ... each note ... each moment,

Faith's blessings restored,

Time's burdens recede, 

Hope's promises fulfilled,

Life's woes abandoned.

Dancing in life ....

Dedicated to Danielle and Wil. May these lines inspire you as you dance on together in life.
