Flicker of a Dance

I pay homage to where I have come from,
I pay homage to where I am going.

Spread your arms wide and embrace,
the humility of love,
I pay homage.

Close the door to open the window,
gaze at the wondrous blue,
wandering infinitely, round
the bend to eternity,
I pay homage.

Step light as not to disturb the flicker
of a dance, between wicks afloat
and the dark of night,
I pay homage.

Extend me a branch and I will extend you my
hand, open palm to your beating heart,
open spirit to your beautiful mind,

I pay homage, to life and love,
homage,
to foe and friend,
homage,
homage to you,
homage to me,

I pay homage, my friend.
