Life dance

I can feel my consciousness, rising once more
I can feel the poetry, flowing from each pore

My heart is open, my soul is listening
My body alive, beads of sweat glistening

Time again, to celebrate life out loud
To shout to the sky, to stand proud

Music and dance have penetrated my gloom
Allowing my joy, my love, to ripen and bloom
