We Dance
(2023 poetry marathon)
We dance for the universe
to hear our prayers
to bring us healing
and self-empowerment
to ourselves.
The colors and bells
mingle to create
a cleansing
and energizing aura
as the drums emphasize
the song’s story.
it may look like fancy twirls,
fluffy feathers and colorful beads.
During it all,
the dances we do
have a purpose.
We are retelling
our sacred stories with you.
The screaming you hear
is in a language that is fading.
It is time itself resurfacing
to tell you what history left out.
