\"dina\"<\/a>Beat of Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new dawn<\/p>\n

is a new day<\/p>\n

a new chance<\/p>\n

The world, illuminates<\/p>\n

And we dance<\/p>\n

To the beat of heart<\/p>\n

Tango out of the shadows<\/p>\n

Dabkeh onto challenges<\/p>\n

Salsa out of mistakes<\/p>\n

Hip hop back into our knowing<\/p>\n

Life, speaks<\/p>\n

Have you seen<\/p>\n

a dancer<\/p>\n

with fear?<\/p>\n

Hope<\/p>\n

emanates from traveling feet<\/p>\n

whipping arms and spines<\/p>\n

Folding over and back<\/p>\n

we take a bow<\/p>\n

and rest in the night<\/p>\n

Peace, breathes<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n
