Dance #15: The Very Thought of You

I happened to think of you today,
for the first time in a long time.

I remembered an earlier time
spending hours getting to know you,
crossing your years and mine
even across the continuum
it seemed, drawing closer
to you with each passing day
until I knew I wanted you with
everything that I am.

I had never met anyone like you,
and I'm am still carried away
by the thought of your presence
and grace and your voice
and words and...

You took me by storm
and off to that place of desire
and marriage and of wanting you
to be the one who kissed me goodbye
for the last time.

I was so sure.
And I had fallen so deeply in
love with you that

"The very thought of you
and I forget to do
the ordinary things
that I ought to do..."


which was to see
and to know that
you never once
loved me until it was
too late in the dance.

But I've let go of you
a thousand times over,
a thousand ways.

And this writing
tonight is to express
my closure in the smallest
of ways really,

and only because tonight I had
a very rare thought of you...


—The Dancer of Atlanta

Dance# 7: Rio Rio Pt I

There is a place unseen
called Rio Rio, far off the beaten
path where angels fear to tread,
and where mortal men are lead
astray to be emptied of themselves.

I remember the agony of a night in Rio Rio,
a city of bandits and outlaws and thieves and fugitives
and renegades and a dark alley unknown and unseen
in the natural world. It was a short cut, I thought,
to a better life on the other side.

As I walked toward the alley, the soft murmurs
of street life and street lights as I knew them,
faded in that corner and time where nobody
had gone before.

That was then...

and this is long after,

and the time to go back to the alley in an
unseen city where nobody saw what
happened except God.


"Pay attention," God said. "Tonight, I will
begin to show you what happened in Rio Rio,
through my eyes and according to My Divine Will.
Peace be still and remember the color brown
per My instructions. In the end, I will demand an
accounting of that night in Rio Rio."


Now,

Johnny Mathis is playing in the background,
and more than anything I want to be dancing
close with someone than to go back to Rio Rio.

Dance #7: Rio Rio Pt 2 of 2

The incident in Rio Rio
was like a dark stranger
who sat in the corner of the
room waiting for its
opportunity to empty me.

The dark stranger began to hiss and chuckle
with soft groans as a light between the
stranger and me grew brighter.

Nothing was to be missed or overlooked.

And then God said,

This is the lie you bargained for
and the lie that I am saving you from
which is yourself as the dark one
intends for you to be.

But it has no claims on you and,
mercifully, the will that I gave
you was strong to withstand its
violent tauntings; you were to be emptied
of your self in the alley in the
eleventh hour by the dark one.

But I watched and protected you from its
vileness, reprobate that it is.

And I asked nothing of you, then or now,
and I am showing you so in My light so that
you may see that nothing is required of you
except love of Me and yourself and others.

You have been tricked by the
dark one that you were to emptied
as one who was unacceptable to Me.
Now, you must face the dark one with My help
and the recounting of what happened in Rio Rio.

I watched as it and lied and tricked you
so that it would reach the recesses of
your heart which is the gateway to your soul.

I watched agony consume you
with its consummate horrors which are lies.

I watched as it unmercifully filled
your mind and heart with terror
in the alley so that you would be emptied
by its violent will and discarded as nothing
of my creation.

This was its grand illusion.


God's voice was small in the
bright room where the dark
stranger waited to take my soul.
It did not hear God speak to me
as it waited for me to recant and
concede to its filthy wishes.

I have a secret to reveal to you,
now, God said, in His small quiet
voice. My secret will release
you from the dark one who
will concede to Me as all truth
and vanish with its arms empty and
its claim on you, void. Then it will chase
its tail like a mad dog back in the alley in
Rio Rio forever.

And My secret is this:
I love you as I made the spirit within
you to be who you are. It was nature
who made you in the temporal.

It lied to you and told you that
you must change to be acceptable
to Me. Then it planned to empty you
of your self and steal all it could until
your last breath whispered its name
in victory against Me.

But you are made by Me as you are.
God continued softly, My secret is
that it was I who emptied Myself in Rio Rio
so that you may live.The victory
is mine, and you have already won.


As His words descended on my heart
peace began to wash over me.

I turned to the corner as
the dark stranger came off its chair
and walked toward me. I stood
perfectly still as it said to me faintly,
Admit to me that you are who I say you
are before I hand you over to God.


There was silence between us—
a deafening silence where anything
could happen. But I did not shatter
or quake as God held me up to
the dark one who had a stench
I cannot describe.

Minutes passed like hours
before its horrible visage
began to fade until finally it
was vanquished.

At this, God said,

You are mine and I have come for
you and claim you as my creature and save
you from the lies it told you about yourself.

Only I can bear the alley
in Rio Rio where men, who
are not mine, are emptied of
themselves. And I alone conquered
Rio Rio in your place.

I have called you by name and
so you must never look back at
Rio Rio or the alley or the
violence of being emptied.

This is the end of Rio Rio
where travesties and horrors are
accounted for; and which I will deal
with according to My will.

Then My love, pressed down and running over,
will fill you so that you may begin your new life
in which you will dance for joy and glorify Me.

And I will toss your memory of Rio Rio
into My Sea of Forgetfulness, and you will
live your life as I alone have foreseen.
And I will love you as I have always
loved you

exactly as you are.

Dance#18

Tonight we danced to music
from another time.
She was in step with me
in step with my soul and I with hers.

I kissed her long and deep and whispered,
"You're one with me, and I will never let you go."

Then,

I drew her in tightly
as if to never let her go.
When I opened my eyes
she wasn't there.
