Dance Partner Directive

Come to my gravesite All dressed in red A black umbrella held over your head that partially obscures you from view As I am gently lowered to my final place of rest Take the bouquet you hold So tightly to your chest Tossed in as a final farewell from you Abuzz with life the word will fly Who is this and what does it mean This gesture of love so blatently shown before this to others unseen Then solemnly turn away And you and I who loved from afar Cross the space of realities apart Will once more connect in this day and time In this expression from the heart A beautifully executed ballet
