What if the the hokey poky is what its all about?

Maybe it is all about putting your whole self in
contributing without holding back. First you start small, a hand, a leg, to test the waters. Then when you are absolutely sure
you commit yourself totally and unabashedly
allowing the movement to consume you,
becoming the dance not just in parts but all of you
You find that you are not separate,
the dance and you
more that it has become who you are.
Something primeval burns within you
all sense of identity is lost
the drum beat burns and churns
you are naked to the world
flames lick the summer sky
dust leaps ans footsteps bounce
an higher cause has taken over
as you become the purpose
charcoal and sage and dried blood
the meaning of our ancestors legacy
