Just the Music and the Dance The music cries it falls around me drumming heart beat fluid time in minor the world a euphony and the meaning is one heart that unites the dirt crusted desert and the islands lush is brown and blue eyed and the strings of it stretch where only shadows dance for across the water the violin the violin in the dusk sucks all the vibrant land down into its maroon and violet line I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the feathered movement see who they were and who I will be and it is much more then dust even the cry of birth retched and shouting with beginning moves in reverence through cords of harmony and I see the truth of pyramids for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end just the music and the dance |

I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the feathered movement see who they were and who I will be and it is much more then dust even the cry of birth retched and shouting with beginning moves in reverence through cords of harmony and I see the truth of pyramids for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end just the music and the dance ohhhh Martie- I just love the dances we have. Your grace and lightness make you a wonderful partner to glide across the floor with. May I have the next dance?  |

"I'm dancing barefoot heading for a spin some strange music draws me in" Dancing barefoot-Patti Smith. --------------------- I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the feathered movement see who they were and who I will be and it is much more then dust even the cry of birth retched and shouting with beginning moves in reverence through cords of harmony and I see the truth of pyramids for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end MArtie this is a beautiful piece, amazing, I would ask for the next dance but I am afraid I would not be able to keep up speed.

"...just the music and the dance" and all before and after is pure romance. We'll dance your dance and carve clouds in the sky, martie, till the bye and bye... jwesley |

Martie~ The ancestral drums of my being - resounding the tempo of feathered heartbeat - come to me across the miles ... sent by your dancing spirit. 'I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the feathered movement see who they were and who I will be' What a beautiful sound. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
