My feet feel the three inch beam beneath them. Only for a minute then we become one. Then I am at home. I can dance in the air. Without a care. Backwards, forwards. Spin around with ease. Don't try this at home children please. It takes practice and calm. And strength you don't see. But I dance and I dance for me. A fool says watch where you lay your feet. But a fool looks down and that is what they will meet. So I dance with the grace, Of feeling in place. Turn around, bend, dip and spin. I hope this dance will never end.

About this poem:
Everytime I feel the wooden beam beneath my feet when I first get up on it, it takes my breath away that I can still do that? The control and the freedom of being there such a high.
Hi, Happygolucky4u, There's little to compare with the joy that comes from leader and follower as one - on the dance floor or in life. It does require great strength and grace to Turn around, bend, dip and spin in the rhythm of life. Thank you for sharing The Dance with us. Keeping looking up and sharing what you see!
whoa! I didn't know about this...shall I spot you, or is that unnecessary? I'm flabberghasted...yet another new respect..

Well written Happygolucky4u! Most of us will never know the joy of being able to "dance in the air" in person. Thanks for giving us the vicarious experience!
