Her dance

-
It was as if the universe was in a trance,
As she went on with her frenzied dance,

In the middle of the desert, in the heart of the forest,
In the depths of the oceans, in the laps of the valley;

Till the rains had to drench the desert to touch her,
But they could not touch her;
And the fire had to scorch the forest to see her;
But he could not see her,
And the tempest had to eat up the ocean to swallow her,
But it could not swallow her;
And the gods had to descend to the valley to bless her,
But they could not bless her;

For she was dancing for her own joy,
A joy which others could only perceive but never partake.
