Dance Poetic Bloomings

 Dancing with God

 

For years, I did a dance with God,

First, drawing close in love and prayer.

Then feeling that I had messed up,

I would back up, distanced from Him

 

I didn’t understand at first,

For years, I did a dance with God.

The back and forth and back and forth,

Like a spiritual jitterbug.

 

He got it through to me somehow,

Of this back and forth dance I did.

For years, I did a dance with God.

When I mess up, I should draw near.

 

Now, when I feel myself withdraw.

I take His hand into a waltz.

He holds me closer as we dance.

For years, I’ve done this dance with God.
