Movement
24 Sep 2017I looked at a
dance and saw
beauty and grace of
movement timed
by music patterns
hands clasped
circles in tableau
before me as I
watched.
I joined a dance
and felt the thrum
throughout my body
rolled a drum
I sweat, I ached
and smiled to see
my partner sweat
and ache with me
The pattern I
could not discern
amid the steps
I had to learn
we felt the music
in our hands
our circles held
the song’s commands
And when it ended
I was sure
I’d dance again
and watch no more
