Sacred Drum

my Beloved sings
as my dance unfurls
for him alone.

trillium,
fresh-faced flower
nods along in time

the apple tree’s gentle mosses
sing the harmony
 tadpole provides a liquid descant

as i spin and whirl
the glimmering light of ages
flying from my shoulders

fingers glowing
overflowing with the amber
of purest love

he strikes the drum hard
my foot strikes soil
roots are strong again

again the drum!
left arm flies,
bold to the sky

fingers curl and open
as flowers bud and bloom

i dance for the God
who loves me
I dance to mend the sky

the five-colored patchwork of tomorrow
requires decisive movement now
