we danced

we thought we had it all together
we were doing fine
living each day as it came
never looking to tomorrow,
then we realized,
we were in the same place,
the same place we had been for forever
we hadn't moved
in all that time.
and the longing came
to know new things and new places,
to see more and do more.
but we didn't know how to move,
we were stuck.
we reached out our hands,
crying tears of longing and dreaming,
grasping for a helping hand to pull us,
tug us into a path of change.
and there you were,
touching our hands,
holding them and gently pulling
us onto the path to our dreams and destiny.
you were right there,
only waiting for us to reach
out.
right there,
ready to guide and encourage.
close by,
eager to give a helping hand
and be a friend indeed.
and we saw new things
and dreamed new dreams
watching and laughing as the world seemed to change
before our eyes.
adventures unfolded and thoughts and ideas
sparked our minds into new life,
playing the music of change and growth.
and we shared
our hopes and our thoughts,
opening our hearts to each other,
learning to be vulnerable
and growing stronger.
we danced the dance
and sang the song
of abundant life,
calling out
"this
is
flying!"
