Have you ever felt it?

The simple joy

Of letting your body move,

Unbounded.

 

Have you let gravity

Pull your body towards the earth,

Then leaped,

Arms open wide,

To embrace it all?

 

And have you let your body

Become just another part

Of the dance,

Of the earth?

 

Have you felt the earth become your bones,

The wind become the force that moves you,

The rain become your blood, your tears, your sweat?

 

Have you fallen,

Spent,

Amongst the grass

And closed your eyes against the stillness of it all?

 

And have you let your body breathe itself,

Dwelling in the pure delight

Of the stillness between the notes?
