Dancer To Life's Music
He bends like a tree in the breeze
supple at his waist and knees
his arms are branches reaching high
movements a hummingbird's wing
poetic beauty if you were to freeze.

His expressionistic side creates
like the sun's rays warmly relates
he'll transport you to another world
a maelstrom sweeping you along
holding you entranced 'til it abates.

Art of his body and movement
flexing, turning a changing torrent
a river meandering or a waterfall
a current of the sea or gentle shallow
he expresses with abandonment.

They would admire his body too
every firm muscle and strong sinew
but they miss the artistry in story told
the intensity of placement or power
knowing instinctively what to do.

He's a dancer, but there are many
and they say they are two-a-penny
yet in his heart he's uniquely gifted
brings imagination to life on stage
belief reignited if you have any.

We are all dancers on Life's stage
interpreting meaning at any age
trying to make it look and feel right
making beauty from the darkness
finding the peace within our rage.
