Poem 102: Light of Dancing

I am arranged by the light of dancing
around this tree of fiery stars,
stars the sound of colour outshining colour,
colour the light of the multi-voiced uni-verse,
one voice in all silence, all sound, all distant,
as far away as the day of ancient songs,
songs of one voice saying.

who gives this night to this man
I do said the winter candle
with my mile high flame of blazing sight
I give this man to the night.

and who gives this sight to this man
I do said the winter tree
with my hidden life and pain full rite
I give this man to the sight.

and who gives this life to this man
I do said the winter sun
with my natural season of circle and perfect birth
I give this man to the life.

then welcome said the life
to the beginning of me
and the ending of me
and the everlasting life
that arranged you
for and by the light of dancing.
