The music oozes into the atmosphere & creeps its way towards me
Sending those familiar intoxicating waves of honey, trickling through my blood
Tickling me at first, Taunting me, Waking me up
Nudging me to Remember to Forget
The rhythm smokes slowly through my veins
Seducing my body to surrender to its calling
My limbs stretch & yawn & open their hearts to the sweetness
The energy, like fire, begins its rise from my belly
The glow of life itself awakens my every cell
And the beat kicks in
Deep, thick, throbbing, pulsing
My feet begin to pound into the welcoming lap of the earth
Her stillness holding me, supporting me, encouraging my let go
Melodies begin to swirl & soar over the beat
As my emotions stir & fall from the sides of the dormancy that holds them prisoner in my cells
And at once my past begins to sweat itself from my skins pores
Sacred Sweat
Holy Water
Pouring from my soul until it cleanses me naked
And then the beat gets phatter, chunkier, cheekier, funkier
Making my hips laugh & my shoulders pop
Widening my grin, Stretching my silliness
Expanding my rememberance of the ridiculousness of it all
She picks up now
Spiking my chaos that thirsts for the release of its frenzy
Invoking my trance
The pace heightens, deepens
Hurtling me further, harder, fuller, richer
Until i am panting, screaming
Life exploding from my pulsating body
Smile so wide & joy so strong
Exploding in my belly & surging up my spine
So that for moments i think i may burst at the seams
And like the wind she picks me up & throws me into oblivion
Sweet, oblivious, surrendered bliss
No I, No mask, No effort, No pain, No seperation
There is no me, there is no dancer, there is only this
Dance is my teacher, Dance is my salvation
Dance is my essence, it is Freedom itself.
