Surprising Lee

| Laura Lee Bonde

“In One Dance”

| Laura Lee Bonde

dancing
in a dream
that’s reality

twirling
up on stage
with new desires

beauty
of the flag
released from my heart

do they know
do they realize
does it matter

being up on stage
not craving attention
being up on stage
not looking for money
being up on stage
dancing only for ONE

dancing
to the rhythm of His Love
to the breath of His Spirit
to the thoughts He has of me

years forgotten
time restored
angelic present
releasing a song
of redemption
