She Can't Even Walk, But
She Dances
by Eunice Taylor Favors
|
She can’t even walk,
but she dances;
she dances with her eyes,
urging,
insisting,
encouraging
She dances with her laughter,
silly,
sincere,
infectious
She dances with her voice,
clear,
sultry,
soothing
She dances with her crooked walk,
uneven,
undaunted,
unwavering
With movement of life she dances
Who is this woman,
tall or stout,
young or old,
family or friend?
Woman who has molded
Stones and boulders
into steps and bridges
Her strength of inner will
defies shackles and
senseless circumstances,
Sensitivity
lightens sandpapers obstacles,
Patience
balances fiery anger
You know her,
dancing with life,
listening,
inspiring
Her soft, passionate beauty
loving you
more than music
She can’t even walk,
but she dances
