Not by the will of god
nor the mind of man
not by chemical bonds
nor electric currents
but by a half-hushed
disembodied breath
resonating in the hollow of a reed
a sub-audible music
un- performed
un-listened
yet powerful as life
suggesting genesis
and there came a dancer
who by drawing nearer the slight source
lifted the whole earth
in her arms
letting it float up
into the stellar rhythm
the harmonious light
the celestial counterpoint
of space.
