My Spirit Dances

breathing the universe
dancing its song
I leap and spin
becoming drunk upon
the eons converging
into a whirling

vortex

that sweeps me up
and scatters me...
atoms fly in all directions
forming chaotic configurations
  with my cerebral

cortex

   the faster I spin
the less dense I am
I begin to rise,
 a tornado gaining
momentum,
 a crescendo of delirium

e x p a n d i n g

transcending
boundaries of size
and dimension
existing beyond
light speed, where
comprehension

fails

still the song evolves...
infinitesimal, I am stretched
beyond recognition
into some paradox
of incredible magnitude
until all I know of the

Universe

is that word
the Word
the One
that set the dance in motion
the Call of evolution
my  spirit dances in

exaltation

to the one and only
motivation
for existence...
  the Universe sings
and I MUST dance,
I MUST answer:

" YES ! "
