Universal Dance

 

I danced for you with the wind in my hair

Under a star-spangled sky

The moon she clapped

The clouds they swayed

Everything dancing in time

This earthly dance, a parade of life

Bow down to the warrior’s cry

The heavens are packed

It's a full house tonight

The maypole is all tied

Yet still I dance, as dance I must

To please the incoming tide

I danced for you with the sun in my hair

The breeze whispers her magical tune

I danced for the faeries

I danced for the trees

I danced to the warrior’s cry

This dance is eternal, it will never end

The dance of paradise and the universe

A dance to fulfil the soul.

 

Questions

 

What does the future hold

What's in store for me

Will I still be around

At the age of ninety-three

Will it be an exciting adventure

With thrills and and laughs galore

Or will it be dull and dreary

A total and utter bore

Do I have a guardian angel

Who'll help me tread the path

Will I feel pride and contentment

Or feel the winds of wrath?

I guess that I'll find out in time

I'll take each day as it comes

I'll strive to do my up most best

To jam-pack them full of fun.
