Everything is OK


 I walk and I walk and I say everything is okay.

Just some feet aching here and there.

it’s all ok. From cheer-leading tryouts, to distance running
to dancing. Practicing and teaching many dance workshops,

to learning Kathak dance again

who would have thought, would I be able to jump again?

Would I be able to stomp and tap again? Would I be able to
do ten circles again?

What’s broken is broken, but I’m not broken. It’s all okay.

I’ll be a new me. 
It’s all okay; I’m walking every day, "What is all this tendonitis"?

and arthritis. Just words you see I sing, you see l listen
to music, you see I talk

on the phone, and I’m ok.

I’m still teaching dance in a new way. I’m still doing
everything,

A little aching here and there, legs and feet a little weak.
I’m ok.

You see, I’m just growing. Just a little pause, to watch

what dance steps I did.  Just a
little pause, to learn the dance steps more.

Just a little pause no more tears. I’m blessed that I can
walk.

I’m blessed that I can dance I’m just not twenty, I won’t
accept it.

In my mind I’m still that happy cheerleader. That happy
dancer

I’m blessed My body will soon heel.

Love is a feeling

Love is a feeling Of desire evoked with seduction A sensuous touch of affection A moment of two people with deep attraction An anticipation without An expectation Two souls combining With meaning who Have stared at each other with Words of flirtation Love is a feeling Of two souls holding hands And walking Together communicating With eyes and not a word spoken Love is a feeling of desire of Two souls caressing one another And holding each other in comfort With an energy of two bodies In strong comfort.

Dancing Journey

From Club Fitness to Golds Gym to YMCA to Salem College to Forsyth Court to Priddy Manor to Kernersridge to Dancing in the rain. To Hot Yoga. To Physical Therapy to Painful feet and complaining. To telling everyone want to see my dance. To inventing dance as a workout with high intensity to a low intensity workout for the elderly.  From getting excited to getting creative. From choreographing to learning From emotions to expressing. From Dancing outside to Dancing away and marketing on you tube to making queuing and stretching steps. To having my videos on you tube and Facebook. From learning yoga stretches to dance steps stretches to Physical Therapy not a problem but an exercise with biking. I've only grown in the years. I've only learned in the years.                                                                                      June 5, 2020 Copyright@Vinita Singh

Lovers by the Rivers by the Grassland

           The rivers by the grassland Shallow yet narrow Glowing from the sun With a spark As the dust of dawn The rivers by the grassland Shallow yet narrow Define the beauty of a lady Walking nearby holding her lovers hand As she turns to him laughing and walking Etiquitely, wearing her long gown, Dressed in pink, heels so high As she, laughs at his jokes. The rivers by the grassland, As she gazes deeply into her lover’s eyes Standing still and smiling at him. Dreaming only to be with him for eternity by the rivers by the grassland. Only, to hold him by her arms tightly, and comfort him. Whispering words of love, deeply As she, walked slowly, by the rivers by the grassland.                                                                   Copyright@ Vinita Singh March 15, 2019
