Dancing on Sunlight
Just a little sunshine and gratitude this morning
I’ve danced in the sun, And stepped in the rain,
So many times, Sometimes being alive,
Feels like a song, Bursting from me, Ripping through me, Tearing me apart, Ever so softly.
I am happy to be alive, And to feel this deeply, To touch my existence, To revel in aliveness, And it feels, So good.
Even when sorrow threatens, To drown my voice in tears, Even when the pain stings, And sticks to me like morning dew, Still, I’ll celebrate the small things, That are the very wellspring, Of my vitality.
My dear, Break your heart no longer, Let us celebrate love, And dance on river beds, Because we can and, Why shouldn’t we?
Why shouldn’t I, Listen to the river, That has graced this plain, Longer than I have, And who knows me, Better than I know myself.
Why shouldn’t I, Be touched compassionately, And be carried to where, I’ll merge with the waves, And let go of breath.
Why shouldn’t I, Be embraced and embrace, The wholeness of this body, And I am so complete, I have tears of joy to spare.
This love is mine to give freely, Mine to relish and to share, The time has come, My time to live, To celebrate, To breathe in, The goodness, That I am.
