The Sacred Dance for Life

I sometimes forget that

I was created for joy

My mind is too busy

My heart is too heavy

Heavy for me to remember t

hat I have been called to dance

the sacred dance for life

I was created to smile

to love to be lifted up

and lift others up

O sacred one

Untangle my feet

from all that ensnares

Free my soul

That we might Dance

and that our dancing

might be contagious.
