Dance Now

Now.

You can dance now.

Go ahead and cry

and grieve and mourn

whatever you wanted to become

and what you will never be.

But now.

Now is the time to dance.

And all that sadness

can be a part of the dance.

But remember,

it is only a part.

For the dance is a movement

-not only of body, but also of soul-

that twists and steps and leaps

and skips and falls and spins

and reaches, and bends,

and turns…

inevitably,

…into joy.
