Summary
This poem portrays dancing as a moment of release and inner awakening.
The poet compares the body’s movement to a bird suddenly soaring into the sky and to a seed quietly pushing its way through the soil, expressing both the swift surge and the subtle emergence of inner freedom.
As the music takes over, the sense of self fades and the body begins to move on its own—sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle.
Within the balance between restraint and spontaneity that comes with middle age, the poem reflects on self-discipline while quietly anticipating the unpredictable return of another “dance spirit.”
