I Believe God Invented Dancing
Know why I think this way?
Go watch the tall grass sway
and the faint flutter of leaves
responding to summer breeze.
Catch robin's "bob and run,"
searching for wiggle worm,
or dolphins' graceful glide,
with his companion beside.
Trace a monarch's pirouette,
before it comes to rest
on a dandelion's fluff,
still clinging to its ruff.
Even stars of the night
shimmy and bounce in my sight.
There's no earthly reason why,
in abandon, should not I
throw caution to the wind,
cut myself loose, twirl and spin,
raise my arms in ardent praise,
for glorious dance-filled days!
