Let's Dance
Overwhelmed
feeling separated
in a crowded room,
It was meant to be a ball,
Fun, Honour, love, friendship
greed, self-seeking, pain,
Marketing and money,
swirl seen and unseen
in this dance room,
Watching from the wall
history spins always changing
yet somehow never human different,
I see and unsee
realms of darkness and light
Masquerades and promenades
But right now
In the paradoxes that entangle me,
A sense of destiny,
and so I wait
Wait in the lies
Wait for something
Wait for life
Wait for a touch of real.
Even as I animate my false smiles
Appearing to all
That I am ok,
I see below the surface
deep struggles in
My soul and
the souls through the room.
Then in the swirl
of bodies on the dance floor
A figure...
Why haven't
I seen him before?
A person
somehow deeply in
yet beyond the room
is threading his way
through the crowd,
His eyes lock to mine-
Passion...
As he approaches,
Moving like dance
is his being-
Love...
leaps the distance
between us,
I am undone
Hoping
It really is me
Chosen
Despite who I am.
He stretches out his hand
Eyes looking direct
Frank and appealing depths,
A smile crinkles
their edges,
Love pulls
my heart
my thinking as I
Impulsively
Raise my hand
resting my finger tips
in his warm fingers,
His voice cuts the noise
Reverberating in my mind
"Hi, I'm Jesus
if you Know me you
Know the Father,
I am the way, truth, life...
Will you dance with me?
Dance free,
Will you rest in my arms?
Rise bride
you will never be separated
From my power
From this love
I have for you
Let us be together.
Let's dance."

The world thinks it dances to it's own tune. Someone else is however in the ballroom and He makes you look up, somehow cuts through the noise. Will you dance?
