She Dances in the Moonlight

She dances in the moonlight

She dances in the moonlight to soothe her soul to stretch her muscles to release pent up energy

She dances in the moonlight and competes against herself doing the Twist and then the Frug gyrating to the sound of silent music

She dances in the moonlight to blend her mind into movement to Watusi her past into her present to make her heart soar

She dances in the moonlight with her bell bottoms and platform shoes sweat drenching her hair past, present, and future

She dances in the moonlight her emotions at a fever pitch Bumping to the Pointer Sisters Flying with Helen Reddi

She dances in the moonlight wearing sensible shoes now soaring to the invisible band bringing together her life

She dances in the moonlight she may not be an athlete but she hears the starting gun and she’s off, dancing in the moonlight
