Invisible Music Waves

As heavy banked clouds rolled across 
the sky, she picked up the broom.
A magical partner as she 
swept the cobwebs and room.

The Blue Danube ran through her head
Awe inspiring music
An orchestra only heard by 
her, deep thoughts played musing

Onto the porch she danced the "Beer
Barrel Polka's" lively beat
The broom stirring dust and cobwebs
As she kicked up her feet

From a distance upon the hill
He watched in excited dreams
How could he know love would capture
his heart, eyes fill with gleams

As intently he watched everyday
The dancer stole his heart
But now he knows how sad it is 
When the dancer falls apart

Inspired by Francine Robert's contest so I thought of this line

It is sad indeed, however, we can only hope that after she made some kind of a recovery. Music does run inside some of us. Perhaps all of us. It's funny also that we don't always know what is going on inside the minds of others and what the struggles are. Have a great week.

From what you replied to my comment, it sounds like that book I once read, Dancing for my life?? I can't remember the title now but dancing was the symbol for how she tried to stay sane and then she had a mental breakdown! Maybe you know the story too and that also inspired this one?

this is a well crafted poem and I really like it. The last line implies that she changed or got sick or something? That was sad!

The author uses good imagery and maintains a poetic flow through the whole piece. And paints the scene with descriptive words that bring the essence of the experience into our conscious minds. Emile.
