Rhythm is Nature

Thoughts swarmed around and

nestled inside her mind, frantically,

In search of  relief from the dreaded

Noise, caused by mayhem.


She wanted to be at ease with herself,

Be able to breathe without holding her breath.

She craved crisp, clean air from the atmosphere,

hoping to fill her lungs with the oxygen

that she oh-so wished to feel.


With her eyes closed, she felt grass seep

Between the crevices of her toes, as she moved

like wind of dreams that brushed past her;

she escaped into an unknown world. She’s

free to move without restraints and dance

With the breezes that pass by.


The sun beats down on her brown skin,

Glistening in the natural light. Her complexion

Shines brighter than the sun, a ray of radiation,

Her energy incomparable to others.


Like weeds in a dewy field, she dare

Not leave any patch of ground untouched,

Her breath labors but matches with

The beating heart pounding against

Her chest in an urgent rhythm, like knocks

Against a door, chasing an exhilarant high.

Nothing can match this particular feeling.


Airy breaths relapse each other, just like

Dancing feet that chase after the other.

Her smile never leaves, eternal like an evergreen

As she moves from sea to sea, contagiously,

It spreads like a virus. She’s happy as

Long as she can be.

Anyone can be a dancer. Dance may be a profession, but nothing can hold back the movement of the body as it expresses one's true feelings.
