The Dance on breath by Teresa Murphy Moore

Lyrics

The Dance on Breath

this is the Ode to the Dance on breath

to move and breathe.
It is the dance on breath.
It is the dance of the bones and of the. tissues

the dance moves internally,
it oscillates the organs.
It circulates
the heart
as it empties out and emptys out
the gunk, the junk the pathogens

This dance on breath is fluid and slow
it fools the eye to watch and not know
how it stretches and strengthens the flesh and the bones
of the beholder of this Dance on breath…


the mysterious dance on breath around and around it goes
it moves in
It moves out
it encompasses the soul as this dance on breath. This life giving source
Illuminates the engager of this holy and sacred Medical dance.

It flows like water from the well
It nourishes nurtures,
it’s healing and softness

it’s enduring life force.

This dance on breath is the dance we dance when we are sad
and weary
and stressed.
It arises like a cool drink of water to our dehydrated Minds and heart.

It is the rehydration reconnection when we feel most disconnected

it is the dance we dance to laugh
to cry
to sigh
about life and love, and all those things we fret and dream about it.

Is this life,
the force,
the power,
the birth,
the rebirth,

the love we dream and desire Of

This life we live is a dance of dreams and stars and magic.

As we dance along the pulse of life
the beat
the choir of Flowers in summer

we dance of the melodies within our bodies
Our voices being heard and unheard
being seen and unseen

as we take flight
to the invisible splendour of this dance on breath
it beckons towards its heaven.
It’s fairyland
it’s dreamt
as we have dreamed for eons and years and lifetimes,

for WE are the travellers along this path

for WE are the Dance on Breath
