Fade Into Distance
Alone, embracing darkness I remain,
from lonely seat
the dancing feet
recall the beat
of nights I learned love’s pain.
We danced the tango neath the moonlit night
my love and I
no words to sigh
or even cry
as music took our flight.
We wed in June and love was ours alone,
before war’s call
that very Fall
and I recall
a child I’ve never known.
And from behind the veil I watch her dance
a rhythmic swirl
towards the girl
with bonnie curl
and fade into distance.
