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

Many a tune, plenty of styles; waltzing cavorting consorting oft times the fast dance of life, dazzell's the eye, is there truth in each sequence? as the seasons pass by..' Well done my friend
