Dance of Freedom

The Dance of Freedom

By Martha MacFarland


It is time for a little swaying

It is time for a little tapping of the feet

To move to the rhythm of life

With my heart guiding the beat



It is time to expand

The light of this soul

To focus my thoughts

And feel myself whole



I am ready 

My arms raised high

To do a little dance

Up toward the sky



To witness the magic unfold 

When I find my flow

And don’t always worry

Whose in tow


For I am on this adventure

Called life

Grateful and appreciative

Despite the given strife


So I will keep moving and shaking

And smiling as I go

Knowing that each curve

Will let me grow



Twisting and twirling

Finding the right sway

Going in the right direction

I will find my way 


Because being happy is up to me

You see

No one else to blame

It is up to me to be free

So I smile that the power is present now

It has always been there before

I just had to look within

To my divine core


It is time for a little swaying

It is time for a little tapping of the feet

To move to the rhythm of life

With my heart guiding my beat


It is time to expand

The light of this soul

To focus my thoughts

And feel myself whole


I finally have come home

In my heart

I just had forgotten

It was there all along from the start
