Dancing Alone With You

I dance with you when I’m alone Your thigh presses against mine And leads me in a waltz of wonder, Your rhythm captures my heart And changes its beat to fervor. When I am in your dreamy arms The secrets of your eyes fling open And show me how to follow The steps of your dance And the runes of your story. As I dance in my armchair, Your soul calls to me from a river I step into your pools of love Swim in the currents of your spirit And your waves lift me into the sky. I soar on a crest of astonishment You become my wide-winged bird Lift me to the tips of trees Where I’ve never been E’en though I dance with you When I’m alone. @ Tess Harvester
