the solo dancer attempts an explanation

my brethren
I see you are moved by the wind
and even I must sway

 

but do you hear
the sound that fills up my heart

 

the wind is such a shallow thing
it moves us once
and then it goes

 

but are we not deep-tuned
to a different song

 

do you not sense
in the earth
the vibration
of restless need somewhere
are you not touched by the caress
of the soil that holds

 

I can feel the tremble of love
I can feel low fire
I hear music in the core
inside me
and I have to dance

 

brethren
watch me move
brothers-sisters feel the chord
delve a little deeper
find the vibration
we all are seeking

 

brothers
sisters
know the heartbeat
even if just the once
then let yourself go
