Dance

June 1, 2024

When my brain fails to make sense of things

When peace won’t enter the confines of my mind

My deliverance comes from movement, from the body.

Movement

My sincerest, most genuine, and loving self whispers

“Soon”

And my humaness screams

“How much longer?

Have I not waiting long enough?

How much more must be endured?”

I still feel like I’m in a fight

A fight and ring of my own making. 

Round 3, down and out, exhausted.

Nothing left to give 

And somewhere inside…

I hear my own voice:

Stop fighting. 

Breathe. Sabai Sabai.

Dance instead.
