There is a jubileeTambourines; colors flying
Singing, shouting, dancing.
I have never seen such joyful faces.
They have come to dance undignified.
Swinging, jumping, laughing.
And no one, young or old, tires.
Water springs in beat with music.
All the colors bleed into one.
My feet have begun the Dance.
I look down and watch them,
Skipping along the golden path.
And then you whisper to me,
Yes, my child, you may dance barefoot.
Reminds me of King David dancing before the Lord! (II Sam. 6:14-23).
