Notes About The Poem

"COSMIC DANCE" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 11 JULY 2017, MY PFOTO, ©

Cosmic Dance

What are we but dancers of the cosmic order,

Obliged to dance our life away,

To dance our death away? 


Few steps we may learn at times 

As we advance in age

But

We have never enough time 

Our dancing to improve,
 
Let alone to perfect it.


For


The choreography is infinite 

And we, alas, so temporal 

While

The heavens' choreographer is so 

Demanding!
