Dance me
to your light
like a burning flame
Dance me
through the panic
until my feathers
are safely gathered in
Lift me
like the olive branch
and be
my honored dove
Dance me
to the end of life
Dance me
to the children
who are asking
to be born
Dance me
through the distance
that our spirits
have outworn
Raise
a tent of shelter now
though
every thread is torn
Dance me
to the end of time

Note
Though Kihew Iskwew never said so on her pages, “Dance me to your light like a burning flame” derives from a song by Leonard Cohen from 1984. Metrolyrics renders its Lyrics as follows:
Dance Me to The End of Love
© From Live In London
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
