The Dance

By Angelito Timbreza-Umagat

We search for attributes

Writhing

One another,

focusing on what’s favorable

How refined you’ve developed your palette

for people

is no different than your taste

When you’ve indulged,

what have you found as valuable?

Desirable?

Why?

Is this a complete meal

capable of providing a nutritious day?

Have you eaten to simply quell an insatiable appetite?

The fleeting satisfaction of sweets, treats, and guilty pleasures

are incomparable to fuel for your soul

Find fuel that enriches your daily movements

Physically,

mentally

and spiritually

When we indulge in one another,

what are we trying to satisfy?

Is it the pessimistic head buzz

or the insightful head high?

The insatiable cravings constantly surround us

Sex,

Drugs,

Attention,

Validation

buzz our minds like pesty insects

It’s only when we can live at peace with nature’s interference

that we can then dance through instantiate depths

and flourish
