Dedication


 "All creation moves in a cosmic 
Danse
Before the Lord her King
And the rhythms, the reason, the
Rhyme of the Danse pulses within
Everything . . .

But Lucifer sang out a serpentine
Song and he offered deaths’
Danse as his token.
In pausing to listen Adam missed his step;
Earth’s harmony in the Danse
Broken."

Words and Music

The title I have chosen for this gift of poetry is perhaps even more fully expressed in Psalm 149, an invitation to glorify  the Lord with song and sword; and Psalm 150, the final doxology with full orchestra  ---
