Learning to Dance

by Shernaz Wadia

Often I want to walk away from it all
go strolling in the hills or lie down

on a bed of leaves; the glittery sky
lighting my way back to innocence

Sometimes I just want to be charmed
by a river’s gentle ripples as it glides

to unburden its secrets into the sea
and unwind from the decades

of endless struggle and strain.
What tranquillity in letting go!

The halo of autumn encircles me -
that age of challenges and blessings

at length revealing that in simply being
you will find life’s true meaning

Earth’s poetry in a cadence sweet
will lead my feet in measured steps

till I learn to dance in slow tempo
to the rhythm and refrain of peace
