Fire Dancer

Power reaches out
Blazing fingers
Extend themselves
To the figure
Bent, drooping below
On a floor created 
Only for this---the dance

A fingertip extends to
Caress its creation
Giving of itself
To the soon to be 
Dancer below

Feet now dipped in fire
The figure raises
Back is straightened
Head held high
Movement flows
And its dance begins
Delighted, the Power above,
Enthused in joy
Sees this life now
TRANSFORMED
—caught up in the dance--

Toes burn ankles turn
To the beat, cadence
Of a music heard, felt
Only above
Flowing through
The fingers of love’s fire

Fire moves from the floor
To burn, entice, enwrap
Legs, now hips,
Waist bends
In flames, yellow red
Blue engulfing upward
To chest, shoulders,
Neck and finally
Head, heart, all burn
Dancing in purest joy
To turn and sweep

Arms raised, head tilted
To see, view, glimpse
Only the one above
Watching as she twirls
On toes of fire

Living flames of Spirit
May engulf us all
Given half a chance
You too could be allowed
Won’t you join in
Live in, 
Breathe
Within God’s Eternal Dance

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit. (NIV)
