Drifting On a Melody

The music got into his soul As he slid across the dance floor and the DJ he did implore For a chance to do that soulful stroll once more Then he drifted on a soulful melody To a place above the clouds Like a rhythmic traveler in time To a musical refrain so fine He lingered there awhile Floating above cloud nine To a syncopated beat he quickly descended As he plunged into the depths of the sea To a beautiful watery world in an oyster shell, he found a pearl With a melody all of its own Then he ascended with this soulful tune And landed on the dance floor soon Round and round he twirled his girl Before he presented her with the pearl For Craig's Pearl contest 3- 7- 2013
