Those who know me are aware I don’t like to dance.

My hesitation to just let loose

And shake it on a crowded dance floor

I am moved by music-

Emotionally and spiritually

Looking for meaning between the words

That I can relate to

Strangers may dance together to a rocking beat

But they rarely touch, and never speak

And when the slow music starts

The floor clears immediately

People so afraid of showing the softer side that we all have

But refuse to honor and acknowledge

It’s here that I find my place

Loving couples hand in hand may remain on the floor

But the magick happens when complete strangers

Summon the courage to walk on to the floor

No words, no lies, no thoughts

Just a need to feel alive and to be held

Expressing that deep need to just feel human

Finding a connection with something outside of themselves

And as the world slips away, they hold each other

And the slow music plays on to a soft whisper.

They part with a smile,

Or maybe a kiss on the cheek

Never to see each other again

Except in their dreams

Or a fleeting thought on a snowy or rainy day

I invite you to dance with me

And maybe learn to appreciate

The slow music of our hearts
