The Dance of Life
Up, down and all around,
A hop to the right a hop to the left
It’s all the swing of your hips,
The tilt of your toes,
The music never stops
And your body keeps its swaying,
A hop to the right,
Crumbling earth beneath your feet,
A hop to the left,
Burning sands scorch your toes,
This is the beat of life,
A never ending dance
That long has lost its beauty,
And yet, and yet...
It never ceases its evolution,
A hop to the right,
But don’t stay too long,
A hop to the left,
Be careful the moves are nearly gone,
And if you jump too high,
Be wary least you find yourself within the sky,
But don’t crouch too low,
And let the earth swallow you,
In case it’s your time to go,
