My happiness is returning to me,
A day at a time,
Dancing into my body, ballet, contemporary, salsa,
Rhumba in my hips I watch how my feet begin to flutter,
Levitating,
Power restored, my battery has been charging,
Spring is coming,
There is laughter ringing in my throat like church bells on Sunday,
it coats my inner most organs in honey,
My cells begin to talk to one another,
chinese whispers, the secret is out,
I am coming back,
legs begin to jump rope as if I was a child again,
Hot summer day, as I sweat, body completely covered,
My joy is returning,
my pleasureful soul,
How its shaking to be back,
Tap, bhangra and bollywood into the sunset,
Cannot wait for the water to greet me,
I want my skin to feel alive,
Want my hair swept back, flowing,
Want my legs to feel the beat of the sun,
Let that melanin glow,
I want my insides to be tough, like fire,
I want to be like fire,
strong and blazing,
I want to be like the water,
Calm and eloquent,
I want to flow and move like the wind,
Want to suffocate and bring life into the world,
like Air,
I am learning to love again,
The wonders of this world forever have me entranced,
I am ready to juggle again,
Even the most resilient get tired sometimes,
but I am returning
Summer is coming,
but the winter must surely pass.
