Awakenings
free my soul to step forward
a few dainty steps
Eyes sparkle as I take in
with such fascination
the richness of life

I close my eyes and inhale deeply
and I dance
Graceful fluid limbs celebrating
pure joy
freedom
My mind reaches in
My limbs reach out
Connecting
As the sun pours over my body in
golden light

How could I not dance
in the beauty of
life?

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

Thank you Poet DeVine and Vandana!

And VAS - I do believe you are right!
