Dance As If Nobody’s Watching

Dance as if nobody’s watching,
rising from the soil
naked, cane-like,
spinning your golden legs,
stomping your feet
atop clouds of sparkles,
so nothing stays the same.

Make your own music
with your own special voice,
sensing the touch
as if giving birth,
to the new you.

If you recall your name,
do not stop the dance,
just raise your head,
and purse your lips
to blow a kiss
at the silver streaks
of remembrance.
Then, feeling a sweet strain,
do not leave anything unsaid.

Surrendering your senses,
cast off your tangled ropes;
as stylishly as you wish,
release the woman within,
to the heart of the universe,
to the pain of pleasure,
to your enchanted fire.
