Dance

Marci Grossman

i have to remember to dance
it is not my natural state
i am not graceful and flowing
and it makes me uncomfortable
to pretend that i am
dance is a form of celebration
a positive self-affirmation
i wish to celebrate
showing the joy i feel in myself
a reaction to the world and life
that expresses everything wonderful
that i feel inside
it will be big and bold
taking up the whole floor
the whole world
in bright colors and swirling fabrics
somewhere deep inside
there is a part of me that dances
that is graceful and shimmering
showing the gratitude for life
the happiness of this existence
i know i don't have to find it
i just have to allow it
the dance will release itself
and i will find myself
doing things that surprise me
with grace and beauty
opening my eyes
to more that i am
than i even suspected
ever expected
beyond my dreams of joy
i will spread over the world
because somewhere inside
i remember to dance
