dancing #2

the dance and the dancer,

one in the same.

a soul cannot be contained

within five feet of flesh.

it bends, beats and breaks,

escaping through fluidity,

with a violent grace.

the dance, a complex birth

and equally unsettling death.

beauty from tragedy,

liberty from pain,

a freeing devastation.

the dancer, heavenly specter,

a revelation of courage,

insecure and bold,

knowing every step

is towards the truth.
