He saw a laughing girl And she said to him, I must take a man Toward eternity. Her flesh was soft and fleet, Her mouth was like a pose, And a spirited drift Played about her flowing clothes. She said she could not be An evidence of the free Unless she left her body To become immortality. She took him in the main And held him in a trance Who never knew for three years Whether she was the dancer or the dance. She was the highest mark To which he set a snare. He held her in his clutch But she vanished in the air. She departed with the years And rode upon her destiny While he was restrained much In the hold of the mystery. Now he must forswear The toll of reality And must admit the truth Of what he cannot see. She is gone with the wind And he is gone with the weather. Only in spirituality Can they be said to be together. Pretend to the flesh, But the flesh will fall away. In timeless uselessness Love can have a stay. He thought he held her When passion was high. Time brings her to him In a long wind-drawn sigh. |

In order to know the dancer one must do the dance. The music must have ever so sweet and the dancer ever so beautiful. believe in what your heart feels... |
