Fire Dance of The Ancients

Essence of Spirit rises from the Center of the Fire
As Priests and Healers circle round,
Preparing the Dance, they begin to Chant
In Voices and Tongues of the Ancients.
The Ceremony begins when the Ashes are Red
And Vapors rise up To greet Ethers of Spirit.
Entwining, Vapors and Spirits unite with the Fire,
The Smoke and the Tones of the Song,
Forming the Power manifested by Light.
Dimensions reveal their Portals to the Face of the Fire
Whose mighty Flame, Endowed with Power of Spirit
Like the Arm of a god-like Sampson draws back the Veil
Uncovering our eyes and walks the Dancers through the Flame
To the Vision that speaks with Immortal Tongues
And flashing Lights and Peals of Thunder.
Now embraced by the Fire in the Midst of the Light
Essence of Spirit carries the Dancers through Time
That transformed Spirit to matter.
Here, they will Dance for a Time, unceasing...
To the Music of Spirit Creator
Singing the Songs, immersed in the Love;
their Minds renewed in the Fire Dance of the Ancients.
By Wisdom and Mystery all are consumed
And cast through the Portals of Time
Transformed by the Fire to a conscious State
Speaking in the Tongues of the Ancients.
Fire Dance becomes the Altar of Light
Where Eternal and Mortal Entwine.
The Present and Past are lost in the Flame
As Drums simulate Pealings of Thunder.
The Dancers become One with the Fire
As Ashes rise up By the Power of Spirit.
Fathers emerge with the Souls of their Children
To perfect The Fire Dance of the Ancients.
