To which all of life
And so art conforms
From literature
With it's beginning

To the great civilizations of the Earth
That rise
Hold

Just as chest draw breath
As she sleeps
Or the theologians speak
Of their holy trinity
The metaphysical systems of old Indus Valley
Create

Decay
Making way for the new notes
We play
As the old fade
Into silence
One step
Two step
Three
Come and dance with me
As the stars inhale
And hold their breath
As we find our feet gracefully
And move in the moment we have
One step
Two step
