Spatial depths of being survive <br />The birth to death recurrences <br />Of feet dancing on earth of sand; <br />Vibrations of the dance survive <br />The sand; the sand, elect, survives <br />The dancer. He can find no source <br />Of magic adequate to bind <br />The sand upon his feet, his feet <br />Upon his dance, his dance upon <br />The diamond body of his being.<br /><br />Jean Toomer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lost-dancer/
