- Dancing!
(By: Helmut Licht)
- "Dancing!
Dancing!" My spirit starts to fly
My arms get light as feathers, my heart exudes a sigh!
- I
hear the music playing, my soul swings to its beat
As the melody and rhythm descend into my feet.
-
- I'm
engulfed in this vibration, and like a brush in Van Gogh's hand
I paint the parquet canvas to songs from foreign land.
-
- My
partner echoes all my moves in perfect harmony, -
A silent conversation for everyone to see.
-
- The
joy's beyond explaining - no other sport comes close.
If every art's a flower, then dancing is the rose.
-
- The
tedious hours of practice, frustration and despair
Are all belied by graceful moves of two that float on air.
-
- A
sense of utmost confidence, a feeling so sublime
As music sings a wondrous phrase and dancing paints the rhyme.
-
- A
hidden hand, baton unseen, music and dance unites,
And makes a joyful symphony to rival starry nights.
-
- Of
all the things I've ever done in life's exciting quest
Except for loving whom I love, dancing has been the best
