A Moment for the Dance

Animated 

By an 

Unseen song

First a gentle sway

To & fro

To follow,

An alluring

Tempo acceleration

Inducing

Rhythmic undulation

A uniform gyration

Beckons 

Come hither

I'm captivated

By the 

Visual symmetry

A lower lip

Set to quiver

I swallow hard

Vision softens

Eyes brimming 

With a 

Flood of delight

I'm swept away

Inner experience

And

External display

Become one

Life force energy

Pulses ecstatically

Corporeal confinement

Forgotten

A breath caught short

While a heart expands

Beyond four chambers

To embrace infinity

Such splendour

Tantalizing & mesmerizing 

In equal portions

Emerald fields 

Of Spring's resurrection

My deep appreciation 

For the dance.
