Dancenature

Ha ha!
Yes... I know, I know
You've been waiting all your conscious lives for this
But did you come prepared?
Did you come equipped with your boogey boots?
For those with two left feet
Are you ready to get right?
Because today's the day
We close our eyes and open our minds to the Voice of Silence

Where will you be when the rain invites you to dance?
Its steady pitter-patter on the concrete dance
Floor whisks you away from the tolls of the day
Let go of the reins you hold so tightly
Because even Mother Nature loves to get loose sometimes
Let the drops from the sky leave a wetness on your cheeks
Reminiscent of such childlike innocent love
Jump in the puddles of your stresses and woes
And break its stagnancy into animated droplets of energy
Because nothing –
Nothing feels as exhilarating than the freedom to be on the move
Race with the wind through the streets of downtown
Singing the tunes that even move the feet of the
Dreary street corners of towering office buildings
Sway the hips of the most rigid streets signs
And get lost in the unexpected adventure ahead
Swing through the vines of this concrete jungle
It requires more than six seconds to
Appreciate the beauty in these straight lines
But don't forget to bend the rules –
Bend them far back enough to the point when they're about to break
And just let go, and propel yourself out of your comfort zone
Because sometimes –
Getting lost within a place you call home
Is the best way to find who you really are
Take those dear to you and huddle around a campfire
Become one with the burning embers that dance in
Synchronization with the flame within your heart
For this same fire gave birth to you in a burst of
Prophetic passion and kindled the fuel that burn so rapidly
Give up your dreams and aspirations to the burning ashes
And let them rise up like a phoenix and be reborn as reality
Because getting scorched by our own inner demons gives
Us that constant reminder of why we keep pushing forward
Kick off your shoes and let the grass kiss your toes for once
For your soul – I said your soul – is meant to be free from structure
Tend to the wild jungles of your past
It's always teething with weeds that stunt your reach into the future
Whisper your darkest secrets to the ancient trees
They will forever bear your burden and bury it in their roots
Because no matter how many times
Your happiness leaves and you fall down
I said, no matter how many times
Your happiness leaves and you fall down
Remember you are not the fleeting
Emotions but the strong sturdy tree instead
There is a lion guarding the lotus
Flower that is unfolding in your heart
Beware of the roaring silence, it can get quite deafening
Like a chameleon trying to find its
Identity, yet adapt to its surroundings
Create your own colour and etch the map of your existence
The universe always has you in a tight embrace
So please don't resist the flow of love
It'll only push back even harder and weigh down on your shoulders
And it's okay to be imperfect
God wouldn't have made you in any other way
And it's okay to not be in the moment
We have invested far too much of
Ourselves into what's beyond our control
So where will you be when the rain invites you to dance?
Where will you be when the rain invites you to dance?
Knocking on your windowpane to remind you
That even Mother Nature can feel down sometimes
So let loose, and be free
There was nothing holding you down in the first place
Because you, and you, and you, and you, and all of you -
Are definitely the universe's most beautiful, beautiful creation
So let's dance!
