Greek music fires the heart

A dance with shadows

twists and turns, rises and falls 

and is always acting in unison.

It moves in ancient rhythms

firing the heart and opens 

and closes like flowers.

.

All parts are rehearsed in a double act,

but hush, do not try to separate flesh and spirit,

they are one. 

There is nothing to it, shadow dancing, 

just sunlight and skill on a white washed wall

and love and passion written there 

in invisible ink by the Greek music 

with the lavouto, the tambouras, tzouras

and baglamas, of course.
