i sometimes forget

[desmond dillon]

i sometimes forget that i was created for joy 

my mind is too busy 

my heart is too heavy 

for me to remember 

that i have been called to dance 

the sacred dance of life. 

i was created to smile, to love 

to be lifted up and to lift up others. 

O Sacred One 

untangle my feet from all that ensnares.

free my soul that we may dance 

and that our dancing might be 

contagious.

You move me to tears and despair, Desmond.  The redeeming words do not want to reach me.  Forgive me my silence..

Love, Eva

[desmond dillon]
