OURS IS THE ANCIENT DANCE
ours is the ancient dance made of rock and earth
beneath the footprint of time
ours is the beginning of all things
ours is the blue haven of estuary and ocean
ours is the singing of the sun as it rises to kiss the skin of the day
ours is the ancient dance
ours are the luminous wings of angels beating so loudly
the mountains shake loose avalanches of stone
our is the end of all things
time passed and pressed the blessed moment when song
emerges from the silence and we breathe again
ours is the ancient dance
ours is the stillness and the space between shadow and light
ours is how the eye sees
the flesh forms
the soul rises and returns
eternity and time sing within us
ours is the ancient dance
