The Dance [abstract Photo/Art] Poem by R.K. Cowles

[from a photo of mine of a modern dance dancer]

Strtched
Fingers, toes
Muscles, mind
Expressions
Movement, movement
Reaching to connect
With the veiwer
Express moods
Through movement
like the silences
No words
Yet with music
Poetry in motion
Full body expression
Every bit of the flesh
Every muscle
Every bone
Positions poised
With elegance
And balance
Feelings
Through motion
The mind
The senses
Puppet master
To the body
Mastering each
Body's expression
Poetry in motion
No body's expression
Similar
Each, different pace
Movement stances
Felt differently
By each dancer
Express through motion
No words
Poetry in motion
Experience the dance
