The Dance

June 3, 2017

You stood and took my hand 

and led me to the aisle between folding chairs.

We danced to a calliope with a funky bass

I had thought my dancing days were done.

 

I laughed when we danced again

as Superman and the Big Bad Wolf.

Rock n roll, spin and sway

Moved by the mischief in your deep blue eyes.

 

“God is not part of the dance,

God is the Dance,” someone said.

Life and light and love, intimacy and belonging.  

You took my hand and led me back into the Dance.
