dance of life

Waking, Walking, Singing, in the Next Dimension? 1979 by Morris Graves 
each one of us swirl with the wind-
limbs move with nimble grace.
in the train of thoughts;
no myth can exist in the prairie-
you see a vault
but for us it is a space that never ends.
your throat may choke with emotional rapture of our beauteous dance,
we may crave for a trick 
that will takes us to halls of fame.

"in the spirals of life, these is no beginning, nor is there an end"

Like the serpent eating its own tail...our tale goes on and on in circles. everything that ends, begins. everything that begins, ends.

This poem is unique & dances in a perfect cadence to the walk between the worlds of myth & reality,

true poetic expression

Life is brutal and honest in the prairie so dreaming that this is not so is unwise and will shorten our prospects. Something like the jungle of the city too! Thought provoking words.

That line, "no myth can exist in the prairie" hit me especially in light of the recent tornadoes here in the Midwest. They level the playing field.

I like the idea of swirling with the wind - gave me a feeling of spontaneous living.
