Let Us Dance

‘Let us dance’ is a line taken from a poem by Stephen King, usually known for his horror, suspense, and fantasy novels, and the movies adapted from many of them.

Let Us Dance

We did not ask for this room,
       or this music;
       we were invited in.
Therefore,
because the dark surrounds us,
       let us turn our faces toward the light.
Let us endure hardship
       to be grateful for plenty.
We have been given pain
       to be astounded by joy.
We have been given life
       to deny death.
We did not ask for this room,
       or this music.
But because we are here,
       let us dance.
