Another rainy November morning. I will not let it bring me down. So....


I Dance

Over my head
Caressing my face
Dripping off my nose
Running down my breasts
Raindrops sliding along my spine
Pooling at my feet
I dance

Dance, Dance, Dance

Drums of thunder
Beating a rhythm
Clouds clashing
Lightening crashing
Storms of heaven
Whip 'round my head
Whirling wild winds
I dance

Dance, Dance, Dance

Throw back my head
Open my mouth
Drink in the heavens
Spin upon the earth
Voices of the past
Singing with the present
Loves songs to God.
I dance

Dance, Dance, Dance

Hear my footsteps
Listen to my song
Pounding of heart beats
Rumbling in unison
Pumping life
Throughout the universe
On through eternity
I dance

Dance, Dance, Dance...

I am so excited! This poem could have been written about me when I was about 12 on a rainy afternoon. I was going to a friends house and it was raining and I danced down McDonald Avenue in the rain and it made me feel alive and bursting with energy! I opened my mouth, I skipped, I twirled around with my arms out to my sides. I will never forget that day. How wonderful that you have had such a great experience all these years later in the midst of so many toils and troubles. You have described this so precisely, so colorfully, so openly and honestly, it took me right back to my childhood for one of the most wonderful moments in my life!
