The music
pulls you
the body moves
memories
voices join
the beat
and you dance
for yourself
move
your hips
your hands
you love
this song
reaching out
to friends
to lover
family
and you dance
the heat
the beat
and surrounded
yet you dance for yourself
as if
alone in your kitchen
the music loud
the body sways
we dance
for pure joy
for release
to process that emotion
letting it all out
feel the rhythm
share
but deep
inside
know
it is only for you
it doesn’t matter
what others think
it is your dance
your joy
your life
dance for yourself
in all parts of your life
a dance.
