My soul hums music deep within
and in this world I dance and spin
no matter if I lose or win
my dance begins, my dance begins.
As feet twirl round in fervent note
release the chains of heavy coat
in wild abandon off I float
the world's remote, the world's remote.
It's freedom of the spirit true
I resonate to my own view
for in a world that's so askew
this is my due, this is my due.
My dance performs in any place
it knows not colour, creed nor race
within, my dance it moves with grace
at my own pace, at my own pace.
It's never silent, flows deep down
and wipes away the daily frown
the beat forever throbs around
in tune I'll drown, in tune I'll drown.

Something about your poetry really moves me.. it's emotion is so palpable and I find myself either tearing up or holding my breath!!
Another so beautiful write!

This is a beautifully flowing piece. I can see the dance going on. It totally captures the spirit of your expression. In a world that's so askew and the way the dance takes place, with no regard to color, creed, or race. This is a meaningful poem.
