Let me lead you in a dance, <br />Around the fire, in a trance, <br />I'll take you to another land, <br />Where you will learn, and understand, <br />What it is we're here for, <br />And glimpse those who came before, <br />Your ancestors who roamed this place, <br />Forefathers of our human race, <br />Would dance around a fire, just so, <br />Shadows and substance in the glow, <br />Generations joining in such a dance, <br />Not all of them were in a trance, <br />But those who were, said they could see, <br />The ancestral spirits wandering free, <br />So come on people move those feet, <br />Build up the rhythm and the beat, <br />All together in our rhythmic dance, <br />As we work ourselves into a trance, <br />So we all can once more see, <br />Those we loved, who used to be!<br /><br />Tom Higgins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/entranced-7/
