When I Dance

When the world is right,

eyes look upon skies

with a certain freedom,

a plan to gather wise.

 

When the world is right,

I haven’t a need to plan

beyond the safety of you,

believing that you can.

 

When the world is right,

the pleasure of purity

in the soul, in the mind

is what offers love, levity.

 

When the world is right,

we have tears we share

while no one else knows

the level of our care.

 

When the world is right

when the day is long,

our hearts and mind

know where we belong.

 

Tonight, the world is right

It’s in a sweet dance I delight.
