Essence Of The Dance


Dancing away the tantalizing night,
hand in hand, cheek to warm cheek,
into the early dawn’s morning light,
resting just as the sun begins to peek.

Forgetting your sorrows and cares,
enjoying the sounds and musical beat,
with your love, the rhythm is shared,
temperatures rise, you feel the heat.

Songs of love and cheerful laughter,
soothes the spirit, dancing as one,
grasping there is a “here ever after,”
swaying to the tempo just for fun.

Escaping from life’s sorrow and pain,
lost in the music of a mystical song,
brings comfort and a spiritual gain,
flowing, nothing could be wrong.

For to really live life it must be felt,
it is in the air and music we play,
letting us cope, that which we’re dealt,
helps us survive each and every day.
