Analysis of My Dancing Poet
You dance into the light...
Chasing the stars, the moon, the night.
You catch our hearts, our minds
In melodious flutters, metrical leaps, we find
Ourselves pulsated to another place,
Another time and forget our present until
Our explosion of cries arise, upfill and die
and we stand still...
Totally alive, in awes of admiration of your art:
Emotions put to music,
Expressed through movement,
Fashioning us to feel hopeful and free
Captivated in your moment.
