Let

et me hear you dance

let me hear you step lightly
let me feel the music running in your viens
guiding you as you act out its message
let me hear the rose-scented air
being cut into shapes by your limber body

let me hear you twirl gently
let me see your tutu, fanning sunshine
that came through an open window
let me hear your softly sighing soul
as you move to notes far greater than mine

let us watch as your dancing troupe
brings life to music, brings music to sight
sweeping the mirrored stage with long musical arms
'is this that music? ' we wonder
we long for more of this art

let us hear you dance
