We Dance Premiere Contest Winner

We dance with desire; we dance with dislike. As human beings, we all are alike. Flames of desire will always leap higher. We dance with dislike; we dance with desire. If desire is lust, we must slow the dance. Slow to a stop; self-restraint give a chance! Learn not to tango with what we can’t trust. We must slow the dance if desire is lust. We allemande right; we allemande left. We must learn to move with steps that are deft and dance for good things that bring great delight. We allemande left; we allemande right. While dancing each day, try moves that are new. Practice through life how the spirit moves you. Choose partners wisely with whom you will sway. Try moves that are new while dancing each day. Let dance stir the soul. Be moved by sweet grace. Dance not with aversion. Smooth moves embrace! The rhythm of body with spirit control. Be moved by sweet grace. Let dance stir the soul. Sept. 30, 2022 This Quatrain form is called Swap Quatrain
