Dance me
through
the panic
until
my feathers
are safely
gathered in

Lift me
like the
olive branch
and be
my
honored dove

Dance me
to
the end of
life

Dance me
to
the children
who are asking
to be
born

Dance me
through
the distance
that our
spirits
have
outworn

Raise
a tent
of shelter
now
though
every
thread
is
torn

Dance me
to
the end
of
time
