Dance Hall Days

My “Dance Hall Days”, now decades past
Were full of fun and Disco glory
A song or two bring memories cast
Yet only skim the perfect story

The whimsy of youth directed the course
The quest for love was its driver
A powerful need, an unstoppable force
And through it all, a survivor

Yet woven through those days imbued
With flashbacks of dance floors and love on the run
There is more than what I thought I knew
Thoughts flowing in, restraints undone

I still love the disco music, and my fondest memories stem from this period in my life. That's one reason I love Mexico so much. The clubs down there are still playing disco and still have the revolving crystal ball.
