I Hope You Dance

what I like about me
I really know how to dance
exactly like
no one is watching
close my eyes
feel the waves
of notes
as they crash
into my ears
and heart
and out through every cell
that comprises this shell
swaying
twirling
living the sounds
of the song
it is as natural
and simple
as breathing
I never understand the phrase
I can’t dance
those three words do not belong together
all creatures
can dance
it is in our genetic makeup
to lift our arms
to vibrate our feet
to the beat
it is a gift
one meant to be shared
so then
turn on a tune
close your eyes
and
dance

Daily dahlink!! Thanks for the inspiration too!! The older we get though it suddenly gets a little harder to do some of those moves we did when we were young!! Where did the time go? It was over in the moment as quick as a dance!! Loved this piece!!
