It’s all about the beat,
the rhythm and the throb.
the heart drum’s pounding
a life-long percussive song.
Don’t let your mind
distract your body from the beat.
You are the throb,
the beat,
the pulse.
You are made of music,
rhythms,
heart – lung,
night – day,
sun – moon,
light – dark,
tides high and low,
seasons warm and cold,
expansion and contraction,
attention in, attention out.
Whenever confusion scrambles
the intelligence of your muscular heart –
stop – wait – listen.
You will hear the drum,
feel the life beat
quicken you.
You are the dance.
Remind your mind
to let your body be.
Your mind is to be
the servant of the dance.
