To Dance...By Lauren Zaworski

To dance is to laugh with our feet.
To dance brings memories of “Talent Shows” in our own little theatres.
To dance like fairies, lightly touching the lilac fields.
To dance with gap-tooth smiles concreted to our faces.
To dance is to be painted with emeralds, rubies, and amulets.
To dance is to sway with the beat.
To dance is to create art without words.
To dance like rain drops lightly springing off the ebony lake.
To dance is to follow.
To dance is to hypnotize and to be hypnotized.
To dance is to gaze into the eyes of the one I love.
To dance for today and tomorrow.
To dance means to lead.
To dance is to close my eyes tight and forget the world.
To dance is to shy and sway slowly away from the bold and blunt.
To dance is my soul resonating with the bass.
To dance, to let go.
To dance is to move by the past and to duck under the future.
To dance without fear.
To dance is to fail and fall.
To dance for my dreams, though they may never come true.
To dance the Paso Doble, tangled deep in my sorrow.
To dance for him.
To dance for my life so I can keep moving.
To dance alone.
To dance a dance that ascends everything.
To dance is to take flight among the winged.
To dance for the Thread that holds us together.
To dance for the trumpet sound.
To dance with, for, and among everyone once again.
