I Dream of Dances

A dance I’ll steal from this night And move slowly with the moon Stars will shine upon my feet I will create a waltz for each one. My arms move slowly, entrancingly Hypnotizing sleepy watching eyes Light sprinkles on my face from above My bare feet glide across the breezy grass A dance I’ll steal from this night Sailing between each strong tree Fireflies accompany my spellbound trance Musical allusions fly alongside. The flowers bloom acceptingly in the still of the night Their quieted lights reveal the dreams of those asleep Nuzzled in their nests as I drift below the leaves Dancing in a daze, as I would in any sleep. My feet skim a cool stream’s edge Fresh water glittering on my lively legs A skip across the small blue belt The constitution of the forest Winding from end to end. A dance I’ve stolen from the night In a forest of breathtaking captivities Each shining star a kindly ovation To my dreamy wander.
