Terpsichore

dance, dance, dance! to the skies – to the seas – to your heart – to your hands – as if you were a butterfly, a falcon, a wind sprite as if you were made of water of flowing sleeves and golden bells, close your eyes and imagine as it sweeps you along gently close your eyes and imagine as it shimmers over you – like a selkie skin, lifts you, transforms you come on now, step to the beat of the drums thrumming in your heart, vibrating slide to the strings of the violin ethereal forever, an image in your mind tap to the lively tune of the flutes floating above the rest, beckoning let it take you, open your arms jump and spin and twist let it take you, perfection incarnate back and forth and around, around can’t you see it? the lilt of the black notes circling you a crown of music – a sign of your three-minute rule over this spotlighted stage, coming to an end won’t you let go? the smile slides onto your face the final piece of the puzzle – a gem born from your lyrical movements created in a world alone, breaking apart don’t you want it? the flourish of your fingertips every second grows closer – a gift from your dancing heart music roaring to the tumultuous finale so please, don’t hesitate – fly, soar on the winds forget yourself in the embrace of sound let it entrance you – transform you – let go and dance, dance, dance.
