Just to Dance

Just to dance...
just to let the music take you
in a way that seems to make you
feel suspended everytime you leave the floor...
Just to soar...
in a moment free and aerial
to rise magically ethereal,
like an angel in a gossamery swirl...
Just to whirl...
and to nimbly pirouette
into a twirling silhouette,
high on pointe,

with muscles taut down to your toes...
Just to pose...
with body sculpted, statuesque,
to excute an arabesque,
and with fragile, artful grace sustain your stance...
Just to prance...
to step in flawless syncopation
with the corps in tight formation,
marking time with every heartbeat, every turn...
Just to yearn...
to be poetry in motion,
and, with disciplined devotion,
to create a thing of beauty and romance...
