drifting

May I sing the song of the gods and the origins of the gods. 
May I dream in prose set to a distant Andalusian cadence, 
Circling as it steps down with a smile and a swagger. 
I inhale exhale to the metronome of my body as I drift, 
My thoughts like the sliding weight on the pendulum bar – lifting with the slowing tempo.
