​

We cast the dice to play the game

Of fear and envy, blame and shame

Gnawing at the soul’s contentment

Lashing out with raw resentment

Sometimes guised and sometimes bare

Crashing waves of deep despair

Crushing hopes with wear and tear

Clinging ancient hurts regretting

Aching longings, dreadful fretting

Shadows pale the past and future

What one should and what one shouldn’t,

Or didn’t ‘cos one thought one couldn’t

 

Now’s the time to move it shake it

wake it break it love it

take it

Into movement

Into color

Sing it

Shape it

Cry it

Fly it

See it

Free it in the motion

Dancing now in deep devotion

Alchemists of raw emotion

 

Chuck the sameness, live your beauty

Drop the standard, duck the duty

Listen to the deep vibration

Subtle whispers of sensation

Shifting through the clogged veins

Passing through the ancient pains

Airing out the rigid fears

Purifying liquid tears

Flowing, kissing, cleansing waters

Embracing all the sons and daughters

Burning fires engulf the debris

Seeding soil with ripe fertility

And earth receives the loving motion

Dancing now in deep devotion

Love in the making moving mystery

In the meeting without history

 

Now is here so feel the feeling

Let it take you let it wake you

Let it love you let it make you

Following feelings shifting form

Deep inside the raging storm

Letting go of every norm

Taking essence back to source

Without the weight of histories course

Distilling from the suffering, pearls-

Of wisdom for new wondrous worlds

 

Now the knots and clots are moving

Softness pulsing gentle soothing

Skins in motion shapes are shifting

Throbbing heaving falling lifting

Weeping grieving

Laughing weaving

In fragrant luscious rainbow dance

Of juicy senses textured trance

Dancing now in deep devotion

Alchemists of raw emotion

Shedding skins in living motion’s

Sweet ecstatic passion potion

Concepts shed release the glowing

Waves connect with natures knowing

Trusting heartful intuition

Instincts come to full fruition

Shoulds can shift to sharing caring

Love uncovered opens daring

Pheonix rising, now’s the time

To let all go and let all come

 

Now’s the time to move it shake it

Wake it break it love it

Take it

Into movement

into color

Sing it

Shape it

Cry it

Fly it

See it

Free it in the motion

Dancing now in deep devotion

Alchemists of raw emotion
