What a good time watching my belly dancer girlfriends (Wild Trillium troop) perform at Stoney Acres community support agriculture farm last night. We always run into people we haven’t seen in a long while when we go to stone fired pizza night at Stoney Acres. The lively music, colorful costumes and talented shakin’ hips were the perfect entertainment on a beautiful summer night outside. Enjoy the poem and find a belly dance groups near you.
Bellies Meet Earth
Earth births forth abundance
Peppers, tomatoes,
roaming chickens,
and wandering squash
undulating under watch
of sun and moon
and steady farmer hands.
Bellies undulate in dance
toning our soil
of mothers connected to mother
earth our home
our stage
our gathering place.
Rhythm of drums
rhythm of hips
rhythm of air, earth, water,
fire and spirit
all culminated in pizza.
