Before the world began… did our Creator <br />contemplate the way it should begin? <br />the sweetest way to animate and order <br />all this glorious whole contains within? <br /> <br />The Hindus have no doubt: a sound, a dance, <br />were our beginning; every molecule <br />of Shiva’s body dances to the song; <br />his soul the music of eternal rule: <br /> <br />so should we dance our way through mortal life, <br />eternal music in our inner ear; <br />so make our life a flowing song, a flight <br />that sings immortal ether into air; <br /> <br />a sound, a dance, a rhythm; harmony; <br />from which soars each soul’s unique poetry..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-song-of-forever-the-dance-of-now/
