My Dance

RSS

By Austin Hoehn

I celebrate myself and sing my song, as I dance my dance like the million stars tha I gaze upon. My eyes that seem to sparkle alternating rhythmically with the stars that light the vastness of the evening sky. My love for myself and my love for the world vibrates through the vastness of my being, and out through my feet, back into the earth that recharges all that lives. My dreams that go on for miles, like the tail of a shooting star that shoots through the darkness of the night. My smile that glows even during the day,it shows like the stars of night. When I look at the stars they seem to say to me come dance come sing come laugh and celebrate for you are young till you last breath, then your soul lights in the sky as it passes on and then that flame starts to dance, sing, and celebrate life and invites all others to join in. So I celebrate myself and all the things that make life dance sing and celebrate. I celebrate like a newborn's fist cry that brings him into life and the sun that warms the earth and makes our skin glow. I celebrate like a kitten so warm that stretches in the sun beaming through the window, or a rainbow that is like the light at the end of the storm. I celebrate your favorite song that magically gets played just at the right time. I celebrate a down filled blanket that comforts you after a long day, like a mother's enfolding arms. I dance with the ice skaters that glide with grace and control holding their bodies so taught and straight. I dance like the candle lit dinner with the one you love as their eyes sparkle with the candle light reflection. I dance with a vass amount of people gathered together filling the room with viberation as they lift their voices to sing songs. I laugh like a child's smile that reminds me of the shining stars that I gaze upon. I see every child full of potential, which stretches farther then the stars in the sky. I laugh as my gaze breaks free from the starry sky and I look at the world around me as a whole and I notice... Children of all nationalities and religions playing laughing singing together holding hands in a circle. I sing when I see people enjoying simple things in life and showing passion for the world's enviroments, doing their best to make the world a better place. I smile when I see people helping other people without a second thought, it fills me with joy and happiness and gives me just one more reason to dance sing and celebrate myself and the world around me. If you want to know why I dance just ask the stars and they will reply " come dance come sing come laugh and celebrate. for you are young until your last breath."

This is quite good; it shows excellent imagery, and has good rhythm that fits the theme nicely.
