lyrics

Dance - by Ed Englerth

She Danced Across The Face Of The Concerns Of Those Who Watched.
Every Time She Leapt In The Air, They Were Certain She Would Return To Tara.

Charles Asked Her If She'd Mine Doing That If Her Daughter Was There.
She Told Him These Were Moves She'd Learned From Her Children.

The Weather Wouldn't Change, Windy And So Bright You'd Squint Without Shades.
The Air Was Cold And Dry,
Yet Her Skin Seem To Offer The Atmosphere Life
As Sweat Seeped Through Her Clothing With No Effort Or Shame.

The Rhythm, The Beat, The Pounding, The Screams,
The Shouts Of Joy And Laughter Filled The Music,
That Filled The Dance, That Filled Her Soul,
That Filled Her Body, That Danced Across The Concerns Of Those Who Watched.

She Smiled As She Mobilized The Dreams That Had Lived Within.
Now Charged, To Live Out The Music That Influenced Her Every Thought Pattern,
She Could Not Help But Harmonize With The Hammered Oscillations.

Yet Silence Reigned In The Hearts Of Her Observers,
They Would Sit Or Stand Or Kneel In Their Vigil Of Disbelief.
Such Stillness As Proved An Embarrassment,
Their Only Thoughts Became Gapping Mouths And Reddened Faces.
So She Danced Them All Home.
Some To Their Cars, Some To Their Bikes,
Some To Public Transportation,
And Some She Took By The Hand And Led Them Back Onto Their Porches.
Later She Danced Past The Shops.
She Bought A Small Box Of Doughnuts
And A Tea Sampler To Take Home To Enjoy With Her Daughter That Evening.
They Shared Their Day Each With The Other,
With Smiles And Giggles And Wishes And Hopes For Tomorrow.
