Dance With a Stranger

There I stood in this massive hall, decorated with sophisticated settings, White flowing drapes hung freely from an invisible ceiling Twinkling stars, sparkled against the midnight blue sky Though I could not see it, an orchestra played a lovely, unfamiliar tune Well-dressed, others sat leisurely at circular tables covered in white draping linen Adorned with colorful centerpieces and white candles in delicate crystal holders Quite puzzled, I made my way toward the center of the room I searched for familiar faces in the crowd to no avail My dress, simple, yet elegant was of the brightest blue Then out of nowhere this handsome, young man appeared and took my hand in his As if on queue, the music stopped. Strangely the color of his suit matched mine Unafraid, I stared into the stranger’s face, as the most beautiful melody played As we danced, we seemed to be floating before the crowd of smiling faces The music played on endlessly, as I danced in the stranger’s arms His leading was perfect, not a word passed between us, but gentle smiles expressed the joy Lost in wonder, feeling incredibly elated, I wished we would dance forever In an instant I felt a light touch on my face, and I turned away to see And to my surprise, there stood my little girl, saying, “Mommy, wake up, I’ll be late for school! Note: True story- A dream I had some years ago and which I will never forget!! I have no idea what that meant,..but who cares. It was one of the best dreams I ever had! One of those dreams you hate to be awaken from. .
