The Dance

The Dance

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

Welcome, step in

This space belongs to you

To unpack the stories

The ones that shaped you

To venture down paths less trodden

To explore landscapes from heights

Rarely reached

The birds-eye view of what there is

To start that journey

To where you want to get to

Let’s make this space safe

As confidential as can be

One that works for you

With unconditional positive regard

No judgment from me

So you never have to worry

About showing the true you

A quiet Hush fills the room

Where would you like to begin?

The floor is yours

I ask, you speak

As you speak, I listen

As the answers pour out of you

I hear you; I see you

I support

I challenge

Space and time feel endless

As we go even deeper

Right to the roots

Trusting instincts

Being ever-present

Reflecting back what I see

All unraveling in real-time

Our only plan to respond to what shows up

The pathway opens for us to take

Venturing to see where it leads

Listening intently

Responding truly

Engaging fully

Embracing the not knowing

In hindsight, we arrive

To destinations beyond your desires

Cause we dared to trust

Responding to what’s birth of the moment

In the magic of the dance
