Why Did We Stop Dancing?

A Poem

Gravity makes the sun dance,

the sun makes the wind dance,

the wind makes the leaves dance,

the leaves make the deer dance,

the deer make the wolves dance,

and the wolves dance with the moon.

But why did we stop dancing?

The snow makes the rivers dance,

the rivers make the sea dance,

the sea makes the clouds dance,

the clouds make the fish dance,

the fish make the bears dance,

and the bears dance with the woods.

But why did we stop dancing?

The songs make the people dance

and the people make the songs dance.

The beauty makes the people dance

and the people make the beauty dance.

The love makes the people dance

and the people make the love dance.

How silly of me. All we do is dance.
