To Dance! To Life! a movie, some time old won’t tell you who won’t say what suffice to say art imitates life but, a scene recalled so, recall with me physician, heal thyself… can’t be done until one is a patient patiently waiting is an oxymoron when cancer invades to raid and in a stalking parade weakens all but Willpower we’ve seen, we’ve loved, we know someone who continues the fight against all odds odd that in pain, no gain a refrain is plain the music comes again if only to the mind… the music comes again… in this movie, a scene set against southwestern skies ridges of red purpling sunlight countless stars to fill the night the scene, of two coming to grips allaying quips allowing each a last dream one to cling to one with which to die, serene their bodies meet in the quiet of the desert arid, in upright stance arms outspread breast to chest hip to hip they begin their dance slow, they move, in circular form life is a circle, come to norm norm is not within the cancer’s eye and in that, for a moment is why they belied all that they felt left their fear behind in twirling laughter arms outstretched beneath the twilight robes flail out, heads thrown back their dance of sanity less madness attack what to lose, they become as one and dance to meet the midnight sun evading for a moment the cancerous wrench to dance! to life! to feel all gifts to live, to lift! to go, to be, one, with the choir! to pull one’s sanity from an abyss’ mire to life! to dance! our ancestral songs! to accept our time, join spiritual throngs to dance! to life! chest to breast hip, to hip now, take my hand and help me slip quietly, tenderly, to lose the pain for life! to dance! is what we gain. ~*~ Please forgive the repost - yet another friend is fighting the good fight but this is the third knock-down...and I pray for her, one more dance...for Life!

Oh my, So beautiful! I REALLY enjoyed!  To be, or not to be. That is the question. |
