My Beledi

By Sinquana

 

 

There's something magick inside me

I don't know what to call it

It bubbles and shines

It's been there for as long as I know

It's waiting to be released

It wants to be revealed.

 

As I reveal myself from my veil

And my hips follow the sounds of the Tablah

That magick inside me stirs

As my arms mimic the tune of the flute

And my body follows suit

The magick rises, bubbles to the surface.

 

As my hips follow the swaying takkseem

The magick reveals itself

Sinquana

 

As the music fades and darkness envelopes me

I realize what I had inside me

That magick is a passion to dance

A passion awoken when intoxicated by sound.

 

Now I know my magick

I want to access her all the time.

 

I want to be Sinquana

Dance her dance

A dance of love, light, peace

A dance from the East

Her beledi, her tune

Our dance, our peace

Through dance, my soul flies free

My arms like wings lift me to sheer ecstasy

My feet balance the weights of this ever-changing life

And my eyes see your pain and wish it away

I bring my heart to you and share a spell that binds us for a moment or two

Only to hope you carry that joy to another close by

Through dance I talk to you and hope you do not feel alone

I learn through your dreams and prayers

So let us dance together and feel timeless

I only ask that you understand that life moves on

Dance is life and life is a dance

Watch me dance and see, you'll learn like me

That life is really no mystery

But an adventure just waiting to be
