Dancing On Thin Ice

Days and nights 
  spinning out like a checkerboard quilt 
Dancers on thin ice 
  We move through the veils of time 
We move in the dark night 
like moths around a light 
Days where the sun shines so bright 
Leave us to contemplate our plight 
Dancers on thin ice 
we are fragile and alone 
   in the depths of the Milky Way 
The night sky is filled with pinpoints of light 
Our dreams are the blanket 
we use to cover ourselves
keep us safe and warm  
  The cold winds will inevitably come 
Dancers on thin ice 
We survive as best we can 
Knowing all the time 
   that "love is the answer"
