In Principio

dancing in the crowd

i've always assumed the role of the teacher,
helping you better yourself,
mothering your habits,
reprimanding along the way.
but in all that, i've never let my guard down and truly set myself free
on fire.
but today
You taught me how to live.
you taught me to get my hands dirty, and my feet, too.
you showed me how to lose my fears by dancing heart first into the teeming crowd and throwing my hands up without a care and twirling my hair and hips and body away away into the swarming massive melting pot of colors and passion.
you gave me an experience that could never have been taught, and i was alive with it.
