Like Music
By John Hall Wheelock
Y
Her stride ecstatical and bright
Moves to the rhythm of dumb music,
The unheard music of delight.
Speaks through your body’s stately strength,
And the lithe harmony of beauty
Undulates through its lovely length.
Alternately, with every breath
Lift lifeward in long lines of beauty,
And lapse along the slopes of death.
