A Song Is --

A Song is -- 

  Not words on paper
    or a tune from the lips
  To reflect moments poignant
    is never lickety-split

  I've racked my brain 
    searched my soul
  Still no results
    and I'm getting old

  It's time, I feel
    to take a real chance
  To knock on the door of my heart
    and invite her to dance
