Reaping Rapture

Author: Dawn McTaggart

Showing someone how to fly,

Fleeting feet, inspiration to try,

Beauty found within the dance,

World's opening in full expanse.

Celebrating all our movement,

Reaping rapture through improvement,

Setting alight

The spirit takes flight.

Through music, time and space,

Feeling through our embrace,

Exchanging particles of our soul,

Creating together, making is whole.

Happiest moments, flying high,

Aiming always for the sky,

Each of us challenging social convention,

Understanding the mother of invention.

Tuning in, giving smiles,

Roaming footsteps for miles and miles,

Finding within our inner child,

I imagine we left some of them riled.

Happy is the heart of the matter,

Fragments of joy we let scatter,

Giving someone back their voice,

In this one can only rejoice.

Forever thankful that I can sing again,

Taking flight with paper and pen.
