Dancing On a Grave

A jump a skip and a jig perhaps I shall steel myself and I will Dance on her grave Mystery no forgiveness as time has passed But my promise made and I will Dance on her grave An oath made as a wilful young man Older now yet still and I will quietly Dance on her grave

ps. I forgot to say this will be going into my 'favorites'. It is almost 12 hours since last I read it; it still sings...

Wow. This is singing as I read it. Wonderful piece of writing. I love it all, the flow, the words, the cadence, the forced joy of the beginning and the somber stillness of the last two lines. Beautiful write, Nigel.
