Notes About The Poem

Dance


                                   Pulsating rhythm
                               Fiery beating of drums
                              Repetitive enchantment
                                a seducing deep aum 

                                 An ancient language 
                               for those who can hear  
                                disestablishing illusion
                                    relinquishing fear

                                Perception transmutes
                                    in timeless trance
                              each soul now-imprisoned
                            within the freedom of dance

Dance , the ultimate and oldest form of self expression. Great tribute/reminder. Every now and then I manage to dance a problem away. the music/beat imprinted on my mind even when not physically present. Our grandson has danced through his first 2 and a half years, all the signs are he might not grow out of it. Thanks for this one David in NZ
