I Will

On a broad piece of something,

Dancing in the night sky,

In the moon light

'Neath the stars,

In the cool night's breeze,

Laughter

Singing

Praise be to God

His wondrous creations,

Be us happy

Be us sorrowful

We will give our due thanks,

In the darkness

Of the moon

By which He provides light,

Running free in the woods

Through the meadows

In the fog,

Passed the rivers

To the ponds

Silver black,

Mirrored dreams

In the distant storm

As rain touched my cheek,

Far from my safety

Yet without fear,

Many hours from daylight

And the dew softened morn,

I dance of my joy

I sing of my glee

I dance,

Because I cannot be still

I refuse to be passive

Or let it pass by,

I will grab it

I will taste it

I will hold it dear to me,

I will run through the meadows

And hike up the trails

Enjoying God's creation,

My ship shall not sail

Yet will not be anchored

To a single space,

Space is boundless

Time is nothing,

I will jump in my bliss

I will fall in my triumph,

But I will be happy

I will be joyfull

I will be thankful

And I will dance!
