Daver Austin Poet Free verse

Helpless In the Dance

HELPLESS IN THE DANCE

Helpless in the dance
The whole Earth striking rhythm
Its pulse coursing upward
And through the frame

Nor effort of mind can stem the native urge
Wine and bacchanal feed 
This dizzy whirl at being’s fleshy core
Yea      feet don’t seem to touch the floor

Mind a space in whiteness
Such is the pristine hold
If thought there be
It is only for the dance

Dave Austin
