Shadow Dancing Naked

I danced 

I danced 

I danced myself naked

The truth of my being 

Took hold of me leaving

The me created by the false river

The dams in the east that was held

and the landscape dried out in the forest.

I gave myself away. 

To the river of freedom

To the river of healing 

Through dying 

I danced

I danced 

I danced myself naked 

I am naked now 

Standing with exposed heart

In the light 

Seeing 

my shadow 

dance.
