Poem - Dance's Grace
The poem “Dance’s Grace” is a poetic examination of the nature of motion in dance.
Dance's Grace
Child of motion
kin of time
art so raw
it bends the mind
to lift the soul
above the mire
is body's quest
of heartfelt goal
rhythm's lead
is body's guide
be standing up
or sitting down
companion close
or none at all
this focal point
is all your own
as power flows
along straight line
or relaxed curve
intention sprints
through the work
to spiral round
in the well
of nature's place
to meet our self
through dance's grace.
