Title: “Dictionary for Dancing?”
Unpredictable-
Not knowing how they will act
We shy away
Unexpected
Their rhythms are different,
Driving,
Beating up and down.
They confront us to redefine dancing
Or deny it all together.
Who authored the dictionary of your life?
When did you give them that power?
Will you live forever
In the shadow of their pen
Or step out
And try new words
Even if you dance alone?
I am not here to judge your choices
Only to say,
“Let me have mine.”
When you let go of forming me
Perhaps it will add freedom
To your dance.
Don’t look now
But there’s a smile’s shadow
In your eyes
Life is vivid
When
It’s undefined.
