In this temple of the dance
You can put off your shoes
and join the sacred rite
Enter anonymous into the holy trance
to be a vessel, bearer of the light
(You’ll choose it for the way
the light transfixes you
Fills out your being, flowing from inside
against your skin
suffusing you
until you glow and radiate
and float in brilliant bliss
across the room)
Moving then in service to the light
Your eyes can touch another’s, and ignite
The signal can be passed from hand to hand
Each one who joins will cause it to expand
You may come back to find your boundaries shifted
Your thoughts now finer, softer, lifted
Buoyant, like all things light has sifted
You’ll see yourself anew as blessed and gifted
(Not that you ever have to look at it this way
This is the work, but it is also play!)
