A Terrible Beauty is Born

 Marc Chagall
A Terrible Beauty is Born


I am a faerie
Dancing on the fringe
A circle of friends,

Dancing into life
A theatre of dreams.

A shaman
Is struck by
Lightning.

He rises again,
Like a pheonix.
Just in time.

We all crossover
In a line,

The initiation
Has begun.
My turn comes,

On my forehead
His hand touches,

Eyes meeting mine.
With a twinkle, he says,

"A terrible beauty is born."
