Dance



A Dance
I’d love to dance this dance with you,
Recalling all the things we do,
Not thinking this will be the last,
But knowing much is in the past.
Yet I will gladly dance this dance,
For my life’s love you have enhanced,
And as we stroll across the floor,
My heart and mind will soar once more.
I’ll hold you close and feel you there,
With arms that show how much I care
And then with careful steps we take,
I’ll kiss your cheek for old-times sake.
Oh yes, I’ll dance this dance with you,
And with this love that is so true,
We’ll glide with ease across the floor,
And I will feel that joy, once more.

A Midnight Dance
Clothed in only the skin I was born with
My soul soars freely in the light of the moon
I leave behind the darkness of my earthly trials
Knowing I will return to them all too soon
I leave behind the bondage of possibility
Allow myself to wallow in my own desire
I clear my mind of other people’s perceptions
Fanning my freedom like the flames of a fire
I search for harmony, for peaceful co-existence
For insight and understanding of the fruit I bore
Naked only in the corners of my heart and mind
Free from the chains of vulnerability that I once wore
No longer do I wear my heart upon my sleeve for display
Nor do I wait for others to confirm what I should feel
Letting my soul wander freely in the light of the moon
Exploring all the many emotions that are so real
