The prayer is my music and my muse
Caught in the rhapsody I must move
Proclaiming with my body my love for Thee
~
Looks wild but my movements are directed
Carrying me to a sacred place of reunion
The prayer is my music and my muse
~
My arms are free to exude my devotion
My legs carry me closer to my Beloved
Caught in the rhapsody I must move
~
The breeze is a reminder of the Friend
The sounds of my garments increase
Proclaiming with my body my love for Thee

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” ― Rumi
“What stage are you at in the above quote? Are you dancing? Write for ten minutes asking yourself the previous questions.”~ Morgan Dragonwillow

That’s so pretty! I didn’t even know OctPoWriMo was a thing. How cool! I’ve only participated in NaNoWriMo. Anyway, I just stopped by to let you know that I tagged you in the Authorly Bucket List tag. It’s super simple. 🙂 https://invisibleworldd.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/authorly-bucket-list-tag/

This is truly beautiful and so spiritual! Rumi would be so proud!! I used to kid around when I went out dancing a lot about 15 years ago, that I wanted to die on a dance floor, dying happy. It is interesting you quoted Wayne Dyer. On my first workshop I gave on Self-Esteem in the early 90`s I used his book “Pulling your own Strings” for ideas.

OH Carol I heard lyrics once about a whirling dervish and I never knew what that is! Do you mind if I share this with the person that shared that song with it? I love this so much!
