THE DANCE
Eloquent relevant frightful
Fraught-full and thoughtful, insightful
Muscular ponderous power
Creviced, a crinkled-some glower
It shows up when thoughts are directed
To wrinkled abstractions reflected
Consider beauty, truth, and death
The height, the width, the depth, the breadth
And then there’s anger, love, and strength
The volume-scope, the mass, the length
Note wisdom, fear, courage, and hate
Lyrical hefty epic weight
Gaze into sadness, peace, and joy
Lofty, lusty, fervently coy
How can one ponder, then claim to explain
Using mere words as song-chorus-refrain
Circumlocution will always conceal
Brooding aloofness will never reveal
True meaning will float, glide, and flutter
Thoughts as soft as daffodil butter
Melting through the colloquy net
Spoken true, but inadequate
Cannot transform the thoughts into thoughts
Cannot reform and untie the knots
The journey from soul to mind to tongue
Leaves some chords flat and some song unsung
So bypass your tongue; why take that chance
Sing with your heart and let your soul dance
Let your soul dance and let your soul dance
Sing with your heart and let your soul dance
With wild abandon, let your soul dance
Sing with your heart and let your soul dance
