The Dance - a poem

----------------------------------------------------

    Flute and goatskin || Different night
   Stars and starlight || Ancient sight
       Ancient rhythms || Ancient beat
        Dancing people || Naked feet
----------------------------------------------------

         Work tomorrow || Dance tonight
        Banish  sorrow || Out of sight
     Sing in starlight || Laugh in tune
      Sacred moonlight || Sacred moon
----------------------------------------------------

     Walking different || Points of view
        Ancient people || Motley crew
            Sailing on || Sinking ship
        Ancient people || Modern trip
----------------------------------------------------

        Dancing people || Naked feet
     Swift in movement || Swift to greet
        Greet tomorrow || Dance tonight
        Goodbye sorrow || Out of sight
----------------------------------------------------
