Feelin the Spiritby Sally Omar
Feeling the Spirit
Stirring inside
Allowing it to appear
No longer hide
Hearing the drums
Of long ago
Wanting to stay
Yet wanting to go
Hearing the music
The dance to begin
Looking at the dancers
For that special him
The scene is very smoky
The fires continue to burn
There is so much you don’t know
So much to learn
The spirit has entered
Way down..so deep
Your body starts to move
To the exotic beat
You hear the voices
Of the forefathers
Who have arrived
Telling their stories
Of how they died
You want to sit
But have lost control
You’ve come to this place
Out comes your soul
It dances next to you
All red and so bright
You dance till you fall
You’ve danced all night
Feeling the Spirit
The dance comes to an end
The Spirit stays within
Both woman and spirit blend
FEELING THE SPIRIT
