Mana
Mana in Poetry,
Mana in Dance,
Mana in Music,
Mana in Everything
rhythm and laughter
Let it all hang out
Mana of the World,
The Great Spirit
dissolves
in greater consciousness
of the one
and the many,
of the separate
and the whole
Mana, the Great Spirit,
The Primal Mother
wakes everyone alike
as the heart beats
duh, duh-duh, duh-duh
duh-duh-duh, duh-duh,
duh-duh...
Let the dance begin,
let the Mana flow
let the body be free,
let the mind be open,
let the spirit dance
to the sacred music
Listen to the
rhythm of the sun and the moon,
the marriage of
the male and the female
released
and transformed
reunited with the
Great Mana
