The Hidden Language of the Soul

Dance, dance as child dances before he walks. Dance in the moon light with stars in sight Dance to the smiles, in the shadows of love Dance, dance as child dances before he walks. Dance is a short cut to happiness and ecstasy Dance-a folk dance is the only universal language Dance is a relatively safe form of intoxication. Dance, dance as child dances before he walks. Dance, dance as a grown-up takes to classic Dance with impersonal and graceful arabesques Is nothing but a sort of gymnastic drills Dance, dance as a grown-up takes to classic Dance, dance as a grown-up takes to classic But if one considers concentrating their minds Leading the body in the rhythm of desired emotions That which expressing the feelings of experiences. Dance, dance as a grown-up takes to classic Those converting the body into fluidity are To surrender it to the inspiration of the soul Dance, dance as a grown-up takes to classic A performing dancer is endowed with essential gifts A body beautiful, grace of line, spirit gracious Joy in the art, ability to please, unswerving Integrity, relentless ambition for abstract perfection Not mere translation from life, but it is life itself. It’s a communication between body and soul To express what is too deep to find for words It’s a poem of which each movement is a word. Dancing is nothing but dreaming with your feet! Our truest expression is in dance. Bodies never lie.

These days in many ways dances can be viewed. But the real dance notion captivity can bloom only in the heart of poet like you. I love the poem merrily.
