We rocked with the waves
when we were the sea.
We swayed with the breeze
when we were the trees.
We tumbled down hills
when we were the stones.
The music of Earth
still flows in our bones.
It calls us to move
and here is the key.
When we swish, sway, and play
it shifts energy.
So stomp to the drum
and swing with that tune.
It doesn't matter
how you move.
Just let go of judgement,
stiffness, and stuckness.
Embrace a freeing,
"Who gives a fuckness!"
Bask in the oneness
of this gift of motion.
Our souls' memory
of being the ocean.
Everything moves
in this great expanse.
Because, Love, we are
all made to dance.
About the Creator
Nicole Caldwell
I passionately share poetry of hope in our times.
Not blind hope, but the kind that burns no matter how strong the storm.
Through story and art, we burn brightly together.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I totally agree. A few years ago, I joined an aerobics dance class. In the past few years, our instructor, eased us from aerobics to just dance. Our team is called "The Dynamic Dance Team". It is definitely a vigorous workout, three times a week and all 35 of us love it. We dance to salsa, cha cha, waltz, rock, western .... all choreographed for line dancing. Yes, it sure is great fun to move with rhythm. Thank you for sharing this and allowing me to comment on your wonderful writing.
