Dancers and Poets (Inspired by Jack Anderson)

“Dancing is an art of bodies moving on a stage.  Poetry is an art of words moving on a page” – Jack Anderson

Dancers twist
Contort
Gyrate
ELEVATE
and then gracefully spin,

In the same vain as the poets
Bumping their heads against the wall
Before dripping their soul on the page
One word at a time
Through the ball of their pen

The word
Is where the struggle begins
The unified dance of the masses
Moving to the rhythm of the heart’s beat
Is where the struggle ascends
Into change

Dancers and poets want the same thing
And that is the salvation of your soul
This routine of ours
Ain’t just another show — Sean King

Do You See Me Yet?

Think about
Breaking through every barrier and ceiling in your path
Shake away from every hand trying to hold you down
Rip out of the grasp of every negative idea stifling your growth
While stiff arming your past failures
and go…
As high as you believe you can possibly go
and then…
Keep going

Get rid of your clothes
Your earrings
Your jewelry
All of your personal belongings that you’re afraid to lose
Drop your baggage at the curb
Forget all of those dreadful memories that rear their ugly heads
Every time you start to reach for greatness
and bend your knees while standing on a Cumulus Cloud
and jump right out of the galaxy
and then…
Keep going

Throw away your doubt
Your fear
Your self-hate
Your lack of confidence
Your insecurity
Discard all of your mental inhibitions
Until Love is the only thing you have left
and then…
Keep going

Start believing the impossible is possible
Start believing you are destined for great things
Start believing your dreams are not wishful thinking
But prophetic visions of realities yet to come
Use your love to propel you
Replace your hesitation with unwavering faith
and grab a hold of your destiny
and then…
Keep going

Now,
Open your eyes and look
Do you see me yet?

Wake Up

Wake up..
Be thankful for what’s been given..
Love…
Pray for forgiveness…
Pray for others…
Give forgiveness…
Pray for direction…
Be still…
Be still…
Be still…
Listen…
Have faith…
Trust…
Make every move with the urgency of it being the most important move of your life, because it is.  — Sean King
