A Dead Man Can Not Dance

I am long ago gone
Deep in the ground
Dancing days are long lived memories
I never could dance

Long ago though
I danced a love dance
With such a musical embrace
I was a taken away to the heavens

Love is no more
My heart danced out the door
Now I rest dead and underneath
All the dancing flowers
