I saw the others in the room
dancing to a tune I could not hear.
I stood aside,
I watched and sighed.
Wishing,
Wondering,
They seemed to share a joy
I didn’t know.
They seemed to know a love
I didn’t feel.
I waited in lonely silence.
Then, I could wait no more.
With awkward steps
I left my hiding place
And followed.
At first my steps
Were slow and few
But then it happened!
I began to hear the music, too!
The more I danced,
The less I considered my shaky feet
For I had found something else.
I discovered joy!

And to this extent my emotions over filled yours
I once knew the feeling, and now with this poem
you resurrected my souls
About dancing, about glee and fun
the music in you I pray may never leave you behind
hold on to it, that will build some parts of your life
So dance! Be free, be exuberantly incandescently happy
for a time this being shall only last a few
take it and never shall you ever forget.

I loved this poem, Martha! It’s all about joining in the dance whether we have two left feet or not. 🙂 Blessings!
