Beneath some shaded planet
|
before this earth was born
|
We came together
|
and we danced in the early dawn
|
For my hands contain ten dances
|
that shall bear us into the night
|
Into the sea
|
and the moon's morning light
|
Night mimed a bow
|
and broke into the day
|
Fair sailors and their cautious friends
|
smiled on the sea
|
That reflected all their gazes
|
and danced with the air
|
The breezes filled the sails
|
high against the quay
|
High on the limpid waves the ship it did fly
|
Rising as a condor into the silvery sky
|
Passing through the arches that begin his earth
|
The sailors saw the scenic air
|
as air gave Earth it's birth
|
Gazing ahead towards today
|
They saw the fields of this world
|
They watched the first new dancers
|
As their bodies did unfurl.
