Everywhere Dance

Moon of plenty, moon of mischance

It'll be what you want but you can't stop the dance

Try to count the steps and they change while you stare

And the translucent moon floats in waves of blue air

And we cry out for grace to lay truth bare

The dance is the truth and it's everywhere

Pas de deux in stark silhouette

Pulsing against a clear orange sunset

As the distance shifts from skin unto skin

Look at how bodies shape the spaces they're in

See the limbs slide smooth through unresisting air

The dance is the truth and it's everywhere

In grains of sand and Galaxies

In plasma flow and rain in trees

In the sepia swell of silted-up surf

In the ebb and the flow of dying and birth

In wounded streets and whispered prayer

The dance is the truth and it's everywhere
