DANCE OF LIFE

Like flames dancing on a candle,
like smoke dancing in the breeze,
the wind blowing late at night,
the rustling on the leaves.

The dance of life is all this,
it is the step and the beat,
it is the rain in the springtime,
and in August the heat.

All in nature has the tempo,
life dances all around,
the dance of life goes on,
in the air, the sea, the ground.

The clouds float in patterns,
as the rain falls from the sky,
the birds fly and sing as one,
all goes on without knowing why.

The dance of life,
as we and nature are one,
all there is becomes connected,
baby bird and setting sun.

It is here for us to enjoy,
this energy that we are,
use it to smile and to dance,
it is us, a sun and a star.
