Indian Dance

Dancing is like a wave 
Gently moving but with a fierce motion 
With each step being so precious 
With each hand gesture telling a story 
With each moment so important you might as well freeze time
And every eye on you
Dresses colorful soaked with mountains of gold and design 
Hair gently flowing in long thick braids held with flowers
Intense motion filling your mind, the reckless
Joy that fills your heart
The moment you’re on that stage the world is very still and at your hands
You feel the empty stage and the curtains following your lead
The eyes of many still on you
That feeling you get is something you’re born with 
This is talent you were given
Dancing is like a wave 
A strong but gentle wave.
