The joy of dancing

I stir from slumber,
music pervades me.
It caresses my soul.
And as if music itself
was my partner
it invites me to dance.

And I dance!

My body moves,
it plays the tune,
without any rules.
It forgets itself
and it becomes
an instrument too.

I close my eyes
the room transforms
into an open-air space.
Freedom takes over.
The clouds lift me up
and I twirl from one
tower of white to the other,
the sunbeams join too.

And I dance!

Did I think I was tired?
Did I fear my bones were rusted?
Did I linger in sadness?
Music has performed the miracle!
I am free, I am boundless, I AM.

Mysoul sings within my body,
my feet are light,
I glide over the floor,
which alternatively becomes
the clouds, the sky, a meadow,
the glistening ocean.

And I dance!

And when the music stops
my heart pounds in joy
and I smile to myself.
It’s been so easy
to feel happy!
Music created harmony
and carried me away
to the land of bliss.

I danced!

Margherita...What a wonderful poem that transports the reader into the dance with you. You made this dance so alive, so vivid, with your excellent imagery. ***Ivy Rose

Margherita;

Oh How I have missed you . . .
and YES dance dance dance

My body moves,
it plays the tune,
without any rules.
It forgets itself
and it becomes
an instrument too.

God yes, and I do this when no one is watching
Beautiful

Oh yes, Margherita. Doesn't it make you happy, though?

I sure have missed you lady. It's really good to see you
here. I hope all is well.

Thank you all my sweet friends. Dancing makes me happy yes, but to know that some of you missed me, gives such a warm feeling to my heart. I have missed you too.
(I was on holidays and when I came back I could not connect to Internet for quite a while!)
Love you, Margherita
