Dancing in the Light of your Love.

Dancing in the Light of your Love.

You came to me softly,

Seeking for me out of the crowd

At the dance.

I did not recognize you at the time.

I didn't know it was you.

For my mind and my concerns were far from the dance.

I dismissed you and turned away from you.

I thought you were gone.

But no.

You simply waited,

For another dance.

Another time.

Another opportunity.

Another day.

You were patient, still, waiting for the right moment.

To make your entrance,

Once again. you held out your hand,

Beckoning me quietly to you.

Still I could not respond.

Time passed,

Again, you let me know in your gentle quite manner,

You were still there.

Waiting with an understand heart.

Your invitation with open hand,

Waiting for my acceptance,

Waiting, ready to take my hand in yours

Leading me to the dance floor.

I was too frightened, to try,

for this was a dance, unknown to me.

I was shy, a little scared with someone new

Would he step on my toes,

Would I step on his.

Could we, would we be able to dance together.

I did not even want to try.

At first the dance was too fast and I couldn't keep up.

It overwhelmed me.

I pushed away

I started to run.

As I was leaving,

You sensed the problem,

You immediately slowed the music down.

While you knew to let me go,

To take a few steps away from you

Only, you didn't let me go completely

For your presence held me.

Your tenderness, kindness, gentle understanding of my needs,

Like a magnet drew me to you.

My steps naturally came home to you then.

Your loving hand opened to receive mine again .

A new song began to play,

The music was of heaven

You lightly took my hand tenderly,

In a sacred and respectful way

Inviting me to dance with you once again,

You lead the way with a gentle dance.

Softly leading me to places unknown.

A new dance,

A new partner,

Heavenly music filling the air,

When I am scared or want to run,

You calm me and put my fears to rest,

You reassure me with your words and love.

Your tender kindness holds on to me.

The dance deepens the trust between us as partners grows.

It becomes easier to follow your lead.

Another day

You lead in a new dance and take me to places of poetry,

Places of love expressed.

In a powerful game.

The last remaining walls of resistance to you

Crumble and fade away.

Everything changes,

I am washed and bathed in light.

So powerful I can not hold back the tears.

Hours later the feeling remains.

The sacred holy reverence engulf me still.

I feel my heart beating with it's quickened pounding,

At the thought of you.

No one has ever touched my heart as you have.

You touch the deepest part of my soul.

In the deepest chambers of my heart.

A place completely hidden from my own knowledge.

I never knew it existed before there was you.

How did you find it?

How did you instinctively know where to go?

Only you knew the right music, the right dance, the right tempo.

Your gentle caress of me caused me to follow

To lead me where you wanted me to go.

To that place that you call khayangan, or heaven

That would take me to that secret and sacred place inside of me.

Only you had possession of the key.

Only you knew how to lead me there.

Your tenderness, your quite gentle kindness

Your instinctive understand of my needs holds me by it's power

Feeling helpless under the loving spell you cast,

Yet willingly I follow your lead.

You hold me close next to your heart,

You guide me safely across the dance floor

The music continues.............

I am dancing anew, reborn in the light of your love.
