I Saw You

I saw you dancing in the rain As your body swerved The treacherous wind swayed Your foot skudded skud skud against the pavement floor and with it the rain beat beat against the earth's core you clapped-- the thunder roared lightning flashed and you shouted in triumph your body landed on the floor your body and soul danced, your spirit danced with soul you flung your arms this way and that outwards and in your legs stretched-- towards the sky and towards the floor rain clung to your body the shirt on your back clung too I saw you dancing in the rain With a spirit filled with haste your soul danced with the wind your limbs flew up flew in you swerved, you rolled, you swayed, you spun, you turned, you waved you rolled with lightning and thunder you clapped-- with the beating rain I saw you dancing in the rain. Making love to the wind pressing, pushing, pulling yourself into the deep molding into the storm unfolding I saw you dancing in the wind I saw you breathing in with the wind Breathing out with the storm Rising, falling, flying, sighing at how beautiful the storm The storm, an untamed beast whirling about Free! I saw your freedom gasping for breath as your foot hit the pavement it skudded kicking, jumping, spinning, choking, gasping, yearning for an unending storm I saw you dance with bare feet, skudding skin on pavement freedom ringing, slightly stinging, in your sole skin-- tearing, shredding, waiting, molding freedom waiting soaring storming a rage, a flame that burns untamed not even the rain can calm the rage I saw you dancing in the storm I saw you dancing in the wind I saw you dancing in the rain
