Did God create us or did we create God?

DANCING WILDLY
By Layla Caplinger
Dancing wildly
Round the gypsy floor
Were eyes
That pierced
Like diamonds
Her hair array
And flaming
She swayed
To and fro
As the
Music played
It’s magic
The Kinsman leered
At beauty
As danced
But no heed
She paid
Their quest
An empty
Vessel
Their lust
Did burn
And
No thought
Was given
To their
Jest
For Firehead
Was seducing the moon
And she
Never felt
So free!
