Dance! Poem by Eric Cockrell

dance!
in the light of the dawn.
dance!
as if there were none.

dance!
to the call and the cry.
dance!
today you live, tomorrow

you die....

dance!
without holding back.
dance!
the color between white

and black...

dance!
for the gift of the pain.
dance!
in the sunlight, in the rain.

dance!
let two become one!
dance!
till all is said, and

all is done...

dance!
let your life be a prayer.
dance!
because you can, because

you care....
