I’m being chased by a thief,
a monster,
hanging at the edges of my life,
waiting to steal from me
my movement
my joy
my smile.
In the dark of night I feel it
breathing close to me
waiting for the day it will overcome me.
But not today,
today I am dancing for all I am worth,
Leaping and twirling with all that I am
To keep the monster at bay,
And living in gratitude for my life this day.
And carefully guarding in my heart
my hope
that that ‘day of the thief’
is still
—far away.
