Dancing
“I have strung ropes from belltower to belltower; festoons
from window to window; and chains of gold from star to star
– and I’m dancing.” - Arthur Rimbaud
When you’re dancing
you move with the beat
along with all the other guys.
When you’re dancing
you get excited
and want more and more.
When you’re dancing
your whole being is focused
and you don’t have time to hate.
When you’re dancing
you’re outside of time and space
exploring the just-discovered place.
When you’re dancing
you’re like a child at play
who’s just discovered…butterflies!
When you’re dancing
you’re at the beginning of religion
before it was thought out or written down.
When you’re dancing
you’re moving step by step with God
to the music of the Cosmic dance.
