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

Interesting. I envision a bunch of daisy's dancing very comically, not that your poem was suppose to evoke humor, but it did, odd.
