The Dancer
neraK amI
Heady, pulsating drumbeats
fill the air
sending an electric charge
throughout the entire sphere.
In the far horizon Her silhouette
rises from the earth
once you’ve beheld Her
you are mesmerized,
any second missed
is woeful loss
At last you are face to face
with the Dancer
A Presence so overwhelming
you try to hide
from a feeling of imperfection
but you cannot run no,
you cannot hide
because
the Dancer is inside
I am summoned to join the Dance
there’s a moment of fear
will I stumble, will I fall?
alas the mind of a beginner,
The first few steps I tremble
my mind I have to reassemble
I try to move to a strange rhythm within
not for one moment
do I take my eyes from Her
as these are unfamiliar steps
She is my guide
Each beat, each move
I grow in stature and courage
holding firm to what I have learned
one moment of distraction
could mean destruction
this time around
I’m homeward bound
right here inside
is the Dancer who is my guide
The veil lifts, I am surrounded
by a sea of fearful, questioning faces mesmerized
looking to me,
The Dancer
