Dance or Die
November 8, 2011
The first sensation
Is the beat of a heart
Steady breathing
In and out
A movement of the head
Arms grace their way up above it
Torso sways
Head turns
Slowly a line is draw skyward by the right leg
It swings out in front and drops in a bending movement
Blood pulses through fast moving veins
Beads of perspiration gather on the now arching back
Pounding heart
Mixes
With the music of nature
They beat together
As one
Moving and living in perfect harmony
It has come to life
A thriving living thing
Power in music
Life in dance
One with nature
Dance or die
