I am undoubtedly a Christian but the beauty in some religions are undeniable...

Ochun
Don’t have to follow Obeah
To recognize her power
Her symbol the river,
Goddess of love, of sensuality
How could anyone make love
To a beautiful woman
And not see the comparison
To a rushing river
To feel the emotion one feels
When drowning in her moisture
Like swimming downstream
In a river of ecstasy
Ochun
The goddess of the river
Of love, of sensuality
Goddess of women
Ochun
Bringer of joy and happiness
Dance for her
As she dances for you
Woman

I think dancing is like any other form of art like poetry, painting, etc. Nicely done, Sue. Thank you. Love and peace. Regis

Well there is a great deal of symbolism in many things. Some feel that dancing is a sin. But King David danced after his victories and there are dances of joy.
