On the floor, I stand
motionless
soaking in the rhythm
absorbing the beats
feeling the music from within.
My hips are the first to move
to the rhythmic muse
pulsing through my body.
My legs are next
steps that match
the sway to my hips.
My back and shoulders respond
with a lift and a twist.
Following suit, my arms
stay in flow with the tempo.
My body a canvas of music
dancing across the floor
movements of unison
steps of beat
a slow shake of the hip
a shoulder curls
as an arm carves the
rhythms in the air.
My body a canvas of music
the music my muse
dancing across life’s stage.
Suddenly, I realize
I'm dreaming.
