Dancing for Peace

They say dance as if no one’s watching.

Dance as if you’ll die tomorrow.

Just dance.

But I say: No.

Dance as if this moment in time is all that will ever be.
Dance as if your feet were kissing the floor
And your fingertips were stroking the sky.

Dance as if your words were starlight
And your hands moving through the air made flowers bloom.

Dance as if your hips moving to the beat pulled in the tide
And your labored breath brought every child that will be into the world.

Dance as if the rhythm of your movements
Sent the world spinning and gave birth to galaxies.

Dance as if your sweat fed rivers that wore paths through tall mountains,
As if your aching legs could absorb the heartache of the world.

Dance as if dancing brought an end to tyrants,
As if a war of movement could usher in peace.

Dance until you are exhausted and elated,
Until your fury and sadness are spent.

Dance until all that is left Is the ecstasy of the dance.
