The Dance of Becoming

There’s this dance.
We all do it
though we may not
be aware of it.
It is a dance
of becoming
of drawing down
the energy
of imagination
into bodies
into lives.

Dreams become
the dance and we
become the dream.

But some give up
the dance. For its
two steps depend
on the third step
back.

They give up because
they don’t understand.
Those steps back
feel as though their
dream just got
further away.

Really, a step back
allows us to see.
Perspective is
everything.
It becomes the light
by which we grow.
