My Wild Horse Self

There is a precision to my wild horse self
My muscles at the wake, ready for instruction
My imagination calling the moves, for all prissiness is gone
Society long forgotten 
Audience unnecessary
I need to dance, 
For me, 
For myself
For my eye

My omnipotent steps innate, untaught, following my soul's lead
I thunder at the music which only one can hear.
Whipping moves out of my precision belt 
Fast and furiously, mine alone, 
I need to dance
For me.
For myself
For my eye.

It is blissful
It is amazing
It is powerful.
It is God-given
My abilities and talents
Not my own, yet all my own.
I dance to honor He who has given me this gift.
This marvelous gift.
I dance for me.
