I dance a paen to life’s dawns turning.
To storm and wind
To rain and night
I dance a paen to the ever changing wheel
To stillness and cacophony
To roil and smoke
I dance a paen to the flashing blade
To blood and bone
To razor and gasp
I dance
I dance
In stillness, in pain, in fury, in hopelessness
I dance at the turning of the world
