She danced with wild abandon she danced without a care With sun kissed skin, her arms flung wide Wild flowers in her hair I chanced upon this secret glade while walking early morn A sacred aura surrounded it a jewel in the dawn A type of place where angels dwell A place of Hopes and Dreams A magic place of lush green plants And sparkling bubbly streams I drew back lest she saw me, I dared not break the spell The Autumn leaves swirled round her and to the ground they fell Like homage to a Goddess, that she must surely be For Gods to but gaze on not mortals such as me She twirled around so fast I could barely see her feet And even though I stood afar I knew she gave off heat Then her tempo slowed right down the air became quite chill The Elements were but her slaves, she ordered them at will I could have watched forever so mesmerized was I What would I give to dance with you I murmured with a sigh To dance with wild abandon with this Angel from above A hundred birds would sing out loud to watch us Dance To Love This story continues in my Poem arrangement 'The Sequel - Dance to Love - Part 2'

Maria, I admire your poetry so very much that I had to come check out your first write... Such an enticing and enchanting poem that enthralled me from the first line 'She danced with wild abandon' - such a poetic feast of imagery, thoughts and feelings you convey with your beautifully skilled pen. You paint your words in golden ink and I enjoyed every one. My warmest wishes my talented friend! I have to check out part two... :)

Morning Maria. This is an entry to be read out loud. Marvelous. I so enjoyed the theme. How could any reader not. You are surrounded with glorious beauty. I love the thought of the hundred birds. A very nice poetic touch. This entry is very well rounded. Well done entirely.

Cont The strange thing is it was his birthday(my father passed away many years ago), and the second thing hated gambling, which Shy Julie is all about. Strange?

Good morning Lisa. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Would you like to hear something eerie about this poem? I was entering another poem of mine Shy Julie on another poetry site that I had joined called Pondrin, and I encountered all sorts of glitches. It was virtually disappearing before my eyes. I had just about given up by the third attempt, thinking that it was too long, so it wasn't being accepted. I had started Dance to Love ,so decided to finish it quickly and submit it instead. Wonder of wonders, it went through. I've since found out that you can submit any amount of characters on that site.When I showed this entry to my sister she said it gave her chills reading it, and I asked her why , to which she said'Dont you remember how dad had always told us, how he had chanced on this forest clearing, and watched a girl dancing'? ,
