Let’s dance

As when we dance, we feel alive, listening and responding to the music of soul

For a few moments each day, let’s dance. For dance is the eloquent vocabulary of soul, recited by the blissful body in tandem, clarifying and expressing ourself to ourself.

The gracious moment when the foot is in the air. The moment of detachment, gracefully letting go all things dear. No fear of falling, assured, held by some higher power.

The irreplaceable moments of ecstasy, as the body feels light as a feather and rotates 360 degree. The timeless, spaceless dimension where alpha, beta, theta, delta waves seems merging. And to the divine tune, every nerve of the mortal being is vibrating.

When you move up and down lightly and quickly, and let yourself flow gaily. Blues dissipate with the each tenacious twirl, Mind, body and soul orbit in a coherent swirl

Dance is not an action, it is an art. An art performed by the body, passioned by the heart, expressed by the soul, witnessed in epiphany

You dance rhythmically not to the music played But to the music of your own soul Freed soul, uncaged soul, unbound soul Flying freely in the entire cosmos Where everything is yours and nothing is yours

A dancer is fearless and focussed May be a daunting start but when foot set loose body sways with minimum effort

Let’s dance, coz then you will bear witness to the flames dancing in the fireplace Let’s dance, coz then you will echo the compassion masking that grumpy face Let’s dance, coz then you will feel calming of any internal turbulence Let’s dance, to replicate and radiate joy in abundance

This poem is written in response to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)’s prompt “Irreplaceable Moments”.

I can gyrate from dawn to dusk for every nerve of my being oscillates with the vibrant life force when I sway.

The moments I dance are precious and irreplaceable for me as I feel alive listening and responding to the music of my soul.

Till then, let’s dance.
