An Indomitable Grace

It may be foolish for me to say
that when I hear the music play,
and body and feet
move with rhythm and beat
the stars are dancing along with me
to that same music playing.
Then foolish let me be
for the music of the universe
found in stars
can be gloriously heard
in the music of
a big swing band
of a trumpet blast
a lone guitar
or a whistle’s tune.
So when I hear the music play,
and I spin and dip this and that way,
remember when you see me
that the stars are dancing along.
