TO DANCE By Dorothea L . Rourke-O ’ Regan

To Dance …. Is to let your heart truly sing And your soul truly listen . To Dance …. Is to paint a picture in motion Fleeting and yet everlasting On some time warp . To Dance …. Is to fly away on musical notes To a magical place Away from the mundane . To Dance …. Is to get in tune with and Share that part of self That exists only by and through dance .
Oh heart , May you forever sing ; Oh soul , May you forever listen ; Oh self , May you never stop amazing me With Your Workings , Your Reprimands , Your Praise !
