Passion For The Dance

I see your sandals fly from off your silken feet
As you move in circles about the crowded street
I figure that angels must have you in their trance
As your soul releases with passion for the dance

Poetry in motion while arms sway to embrace
As joy for this moment is seen within your face
Each sparkle of your eye reflects a lover's glance
As onlookers embark with passion for the dance

A street as your dance floor brings traffic to a still
As people gather 'round to partake in the thrill
All heartaches disappear with newly found romance
As inner music plays with passion for the dance

City dwellers regret their business spent above
As looking down below in hopes of finding love
An audience caught up in realms of circumstance
As center stage explodes with passion for the dance

Rhythmic steps move lightly like leaves upon the wall
As floating down from Heav'n melodiously fall
You twirl a pirouette with perfect elegance
As waltzing in union with passion for the dance

I see your sandals fly from off your silken feet
As you move in circles about the crowded street
I figure that angels must have you in their trance
As we joined together with passion for the dance

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Now this is one that I wish I had written.  My friend, this one is beautiful from the title on down and the flow was superb.  I loved the two line rhyme scheme also.  I applaud you on this one.  BTW........I haven't had the chance so may you have a very blessed new year and you will be seeing me in SJ again real soon as my time is getting better.

You inspired me my friend with all your dance poetry and I thought that I might join you with this one....  All we need now is a few dance partners and then we can have a real hoe-down.  Thank you for your comments and I do look forward to reading more of your poetry in SJ whenever you get a chance.  God Bless and a Happy New Year to You, Bob <><

I do appreciate your smile and that you loved the feel and mood of my poetry.  I hope you take a little time to slip in a little jig along your life's way.... and smiles back to You my friend, Bob <><

Like you, I too admire the innocence felt in the presence of a child dancing... I do hope that we never grow to old to let our hair down and once again become as little children.  Bob <><

Whoops.... Sorry that I had to correct a spelling error.  Angles needed to be angels.

Love, Cerenity

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to check me out... I do appreciate that.  Hey, what's keeping ya.... just kick off your shoes, let down your hair and go for it.... (though it is nice) you don't even need a partner just the passion.  Bob <><

You must be talking about that Salsa Beat....
Hey, don't those Latin dancers express extreem passion when they dance?  I guess that is why I married my Latin Lover.  Well, one of the reasons.  Bob <><

*sigh* I think we all have a little child in us when we can alow beautiful music to flow into our body and soul lifting us off the ground as we move within the arms of someone we love.*sigh* how wonderful this poem is. Thank you so very much. Much love and hugs to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

I was truly touched by her dancing also and I believe that she could dance anywhere because she is totally lost in it.  I just joined in at the end to tie the poem together.... but in reality she needs no partner.  I am glad that I could bring a bit of her dance alive for you to enjoy.   Bob <><

Yes, I also believe that there is a Father who looks away from our adult faults and insecurities and lifts the little child in each one of us.  I believe that we can be child like in our dance before the One who loves us most of all and when we two move within each other's arms we are both embraced with a great-great Love.   Bob <><

I have danced the dance of the Cherokee,
the dance of Gypsies, the dance of Wood Nymphs ...
this is a wonderful write of the abandonment of earthly attachment and dancing with passionate soul.

Oh, I can relate.
Wonderfully done.

Like a feather floating upon a gentle wind,
She's dancing in spirit in the arms of her Friend.

Knowing your spirit, I have know doubts that you understood.  Many Christians today have accepted worship dance as part of their spiritual offerings unto God.  Like with the Indian dance, their dance expresses the emotions that fill their soul.  I have not danced in the Spirit, but it appears to be a wonderful gift from the Lord.  Bob <><
