Mystery and Clarity
To the music of nature,
Spirit and Word.
They swing and sway
Back and forth
Back and forth
Each step inspiring awe
Each step true and sure.
Neither will dance alone
Or with another suitor
For though invited and enticed
None other knows the step
Like the One
Or like the Other.
A sad day it is indeed
When one of us claims to be dancing
In step with only Mystery
Or only Clarity
For in reality
We are dancing to a music of our own making
Which looks more like a parade
Of folly
Or perhaps like a dirge
On the way to the grave.
Long have these Two danced to a rhythm
Made by the One who made all rhythms
A rhythm that we must discover
A step that we must learn
From the One who invites us to dance
The Dance of Mystery and Clarity
The Dance of Love and Obedience
The Dance of Beauty and Truth.
