The Dancer

The whirlpool of my life finds the still centre
Momentarily
In a burst of wonder
Splattering into arms and legs
A unique movement in timelessness
Only my thoughts intent terrible
Birth into being
Who knows from whence
Came the desire
The need of turbulent discipline
How many lives before
I danced away the passions
Of my heart
How many fires lit my body into nothingness
Releasing again the energies
More real than life
Curled into my very atma
For each new life renewed
I dance
And will dance again
