Sue

I reached for you dancing Samba NGO    out of the Congo my feet flying arms reaching and the blend of the music shaped me to reach up to you

Can’t Stop Now Eddie Shaw    Chicago I was dancing like crazy and you and the rest of the Universe were in my moving bones It felt so good can’t stop now

At the beginning I reached up for you then at the end Forbidden Forest    first song one of the quiet parts I was twirling arms up in a slow spin and there you were your face and then your whole presence floating down

all of you went through me something I knew and I was dancing

Thank you
