And I dance.

The music starts playing,
my heart starts beating,
I step onto the floor.

And I dance.

The fluid movements
flood through me
and I cannot stop
for I am dancing,
leaping
soaring
flying
free.

And I dance.

Exhaustion and fatigue
overwhelm me.
but I cannot stop.
I cannot stop.
so I continue on,
lagging
behind the flowing melody.

But I don't care
because I'm dancing.
setting myself free
flying away
from the sorrows of my life.
flying away.
Flying free.

And I dance.

Beads of sweat
trickle down my cheeks
muscles sore and weary
but there is no end
to the fluid movements.
so I continue on
breathlessly.
the dance
so much a part of me
that I can't step away.

And I dance.

The beautiful song winds to a close
but my dance cannot.
my feet
cannot stop flying through the air
for they have the spirit of the dance
inside of them.

So I stop trying to make myself stop
and start trying to make myself start
letting myself be enchanted
by the beauty of the dance.

So I take a deep breath and fly away

So I dance.

And I dance.
