Come Dance with Me

by Rita Odeh
(Nazareth, Israel)

Come dance with me
with words unlike common words..
High leaps beyond borders
where you will see
what a butterfly may see
when in love with a rose,
what a cricket can hear
after a heavy rain shower,
what a sea can say
at the first touch with the shore..
Come soar with me
once with, once against the wind,
across clouds, mountains and hills,
under the grace of the high moment
Come defeat the dragon,
fight the dark,
trace the rainbow,
fool the wolf,
eat some of Little Red Riding Hood's sweet cakes,
wear Cinderella's most charming shoes,
feel the wonder of the word...
