The world shivers
The trees breathe
An evergreen sighs in relief
As the snow falls on its dark shining branches
A little girl dances
In a bright red leotard
Singing to the trees
The trees are silent
They don’t sing back
But they are laughing gently
Swaying with the wind
Wearing a blanket of snow
She jumps and she flips and she flies
Through the air
Breathing and singing and shouting for joy
Just be
She heard somewhere years ago
Be forever,
Forever still
Hearken to God’s word as you dance child,
Memories of the Bible whisper to her soft ears.
She sways as the trees sway
Love and laughter everywhere
Listen
To God
Listen
To the trees
And never stop dancing
