Notes About The Poem

Dance and Sing

("First Light", 2006, original oil)

Dance and Sing

Dance and sing
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek
Playfully swaying, chanting, drumming
To a beat
That rises and falls
Moving like a torch
From soul to soul
Igniting the light
That burns within
And spreads without
Each beat, each word arising
In spontaneity
Draws us out
Each in our own way and time
Draws us out
With infectious joy
To simply dance and sing
