We are
each of us
an individual viewpoint
of creation.

We are
each of us
a Creator-in-disguise.
On vacation from the “big job.”

We are dancers
of the eternal pavane. Indulging

in a casual pirouette
to spin
a galaxy on its way. Or
a playful
tour en l’aire
to remind the planets how it’s done.

Working out
the choreography of a
freestyle jazz routine
on the head
of a pin;
with the rest of the angels.

We dance.
We weep.

We sow joy.

We inspire.

We dance: Trailing songs

and the poetry of a million lives lived.

--Michael Graves
Senior Poet
Al Da Beatz Magazine
