By Gabriel Foster

She danced because of the promises she made
To herself long ago,
Existing without living should not be her dance of choice.

She danced because her goals needed to remind
Her that the future was too important not to keep
Writing her new chapters in her book of life.

She danced with arms held out to honor her 
Motherhood in giving her children the best parts
Of her heart.

She danced elegantly with her feet to reinforce
Her kindness to everyone that crossed her path,
For kindness is the invitation to gratitude.

She danced and shook her waist in tempting
Motions that reminded her husband who is
Prey and who was hunter.

She danced, moved her head and flung her
Hair in alignment with the stars,
For the goddess within was awaking.

She danced and emphasized her chest in
In continuing to feed her soul with the nutrients
Of love.
