DANCING IN THE BREEZE

DANCING IN THE BREEZE He knew this was a special day. Her beauty took his breath away. His throat went dry as he said hello. Fearing she would turn and go. She smiled at him, so he took his chance. And through bated breath asked her to dance She clutched his hand; they danced all night. They laughed and joked; things just felt right. Decades pass, now both retired They still share wedded bliss. Emphasised each morning. With a gentle loving kiss Awakened by the dawn chorus. As distant church bells peel She looks across and smiles at him. But his body is cold and still. Her heart now badly broken She knew this day would come. She cannot face the future. Without her only love She passed shortly after They’re now eternally together. The cherished love they shared. Shall always last forever When I scattered both their ashes Beneath the apple trees I’m sure I saw them smiling. Dancing merrily in the breeze.
