the window

the challenge of the blank, empty space

begging for color or line, definition

when skirts lift and swirl and bodies form poetry in motion

the fiercely scribbling pen and the passionate declaration

of story from stage

it's in that moment where artist and art join in perfect, fierce harmony

and we return, descend - dazed

and human again to find a masterpiece has been created

in and through our movement

our expression, our reflection

of the divine Creative

in a world that cannot hear or see

we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. *
