THE DANCER
She paints a picture with her smile
At first sight
Watching her dance
Like a star
I´d like to hold her like a guitar
In her dance dress her hips are strong
I see her reflection in the mirror´s song
Running barefoot
Her energy inspires me
Talking to her calms me
Watching her cheeks
Her presence in italics speaks
On tiptoe like a ballerina
In the center of the arena
We plan to meet another way
When she arrives paths cross right away
We come from a world of stress
Every song that´s sung
Has a deeper meaning in this place of love
She leads a line of dancing bears
Down the aisle to the edge of the crowd
And fills the dance circle
For every girl and boy
Every song we love to hear
Fills our hearts with joy
She holds a rose
Floats like a balloon among the crowd
Dances with the rose
And laughs out loud
Her love shines and is true
On the path to the wild woods
With an Ode to the Sun
To a place of fun
And the rivers that flow
She´s creative I know
Precise I find
She is wonderful and kind
She helps me notice everyone
We share a tribal culture of fun
The spirit in our hearts for all to hear
We are in a special place with love and care
She´s real cool
Beautiful as a dream
In the story
She´s in the scene
She captures my imagination
She is full of fascination
She could be the dreamcatcher
Or the matchmaker
Dancer with light
Muse of the night
Shining faces
Let´m shine
Dancer in this world
Sharing spaces
Closer in time
The whole world trembles in the midst of a storm
We´ll dance in the night into the morn
Listen with love to sweet music that comforts all



SUMMER MAGIC


We come to hear the music of Papa Bear
And celebrate his birthday here
I climb the steep hill when I arrive
More rugged and difficult than gym stairs no jive
I pause at the top
Take in the surroundings
Enjoying the dank zaza in the air
Then I go down to the sound
And the dancer appears
Back to back with the dancer
The sun shines through her
There is light in her eyes like stars above
Face sprinkled with glittery sparkles of love
Playful interaction smiling poses
One ankle adorned with roses
She wears no underwear
No one can see
Laughing and dancing
She´s independent and free
Summer magic
Fun all around
Dancing bears
Hearts united by sound
The band musicians are having a blast
Everyone listening wants it to last
Laughing with the dancing bears
Barefoot in the sand
Summer magic and special fun
In motion with artistics hands
We´re daydreaming together
Summer sun perfect weather
Love in the spirit excitement in the air
Music massage and healing
Senses hear
Butterfly over a girl
Beautiful as a pearl
Summer hair on her face
Good vibes in this place
Dancing with bare toes
Feeling the wind blow
The magic of summer flows
In the stream and at the shows
Listening to old songs
Making new friends
Summer is here
As the magic extends
Summer fun
For everyone
