Venetia Crasta Poet Couplet

Dance

If I could only again dance,
My fickle feet I would tap, and move in a trance
And feel the feathered lightness in my heart
That once ruled over my youth in the start
Thrill of graceful hands moving in flow
Body moving in fluid rhythm and face aglow
Music beating into the very fibre of my soul
Melting the frigid bones grown cold 
Oh, if I could only again dance
Defeat thus the heart pierced with lance 
And let Joy flow in abun-dance.
