to see her dance in the wind

She dances in the wind
Bullshit
do you know the energy it takes to stay grounded
and yet sway
to the visible eye
it is dancing
they have no idea the spiritual roots
that keep one
sane
balanced
prepared to deal with the ways
not only of the wind
but people
they perform breath to air
with little decree for honesty
follow through
or expediency

Did you see the branches sway
its roots have a job too
to keep the tree THERE
it holds the key of the to and fro
It's so grounded it can never go anywhere
it's limbs and leaves
they see the world
and reach towards the sky

in order to MAKE HER MOVE
it must to the center core be
honest
loyal
capable to receive
give
share
that last winter breath
for hibernation is here

Oh you entered the cave
and still walked out tall
beating one's chest and
brandishing bravado
the twinkle in your eye
the tone of your laughter
what did you think about later?

when it hit your heart
that this was forever after
reality kicks in
this is not a dream
it's simply something you asked for

the dance
to see her dance in the wind
you wondered how she stayed so grounded
as the hot air flew around her
the fumes your lungs expelled
yet she was still grounded
it was when the swirl of love
that hit the air
it was that
that made her rise
it was that
which made her fly
yet grounded is she
for when it comes to heart
matters
careful
she is
