Our Bones Shall Dance

Our Bones Shall Dance

Why do I obssesss

over the skin under our bones

and the blood in our veins?

It’s simple, really.

Our life is in our blood,

our structure is in our bones,

without our blood

and without our bones

we are nothing

but dead meat

wrapped in skin.

no life,

no form,

just flesh that cannot,

will not move.

That is why I love skeletons,

that is why I love blood.

It’s our life and essence,

we cannot exist without them.

How can we dance

without our bones to show us how?

Because in the end,

thats what we are.

Skeletons

dancing.

And around us flows the blood of our life

and it’s this blood

that allows our hearts to beat

and our lungs to breathe.

It’s this blood

that provides oxygen to our brains

our wonderful brains

so we can come up with wonderful thoughts,

like,

a dance.

Or music.

So our skeletons can dance to this music that we’ve created

with these wonderful brains of ours

because of the blood that flows from our hearts.

So the next time

that you see blood

or bones,

before you feel disgust,

before you allow yourself to recoil,

remember:

That you are looking at liquid life

that you are looking at the form of how we move

how we dance.

And it’s beautiful.

The Lord made us in His image, after all

and the Lord gave us the gift

of this blood,

His blood,

that runs through our veins,

and the Lord gave us these bones

made from the earth itself,

and allowed these bones to dance

so that we may

dance to this music that He has given us

the gift

of being able to create.

So why don’t we pour our hearts

and use these lungs

to sing praises that echo

to the Lord

who gave us these bones

and allows them to dance.

And dance for him they shall.
