Life Is a Dance

I have seen it spinned a man and flayed him Seen it turned people into shadows, and dim Movements arching, stretching, supple souls Who the rhythm could not break. So hip rolls Into the grind and pelvic thrust of a sublime Urge, a longing to break skin away and to fly The mind contorts the body to tell its paradigm Of seasons changing us. We dance ere we die, We all must dance where the music compels Automatons of muscles, sinews and of bone We carry in us the echo of life's loud trombone Onto the stage where lights cast their spells. Life is a dance, O,come twirl with me to reel And script, we are free who live what we feel.
