Lovely Dancer

Lonely dancer Song of life Dancing in the firelight Twirling as the music plays Feign and sway your night away written 11.21.2016

It seems like double meanings here - Is there a person dancing (lovely, lonely), or does it seem as if life itself is dancing and singing in the flickers and transience of the flame. Is it real life or does it just feign life? Or is it both? The ambiguity makes me pause and enjoy the firelight. J :)

Thank you, Jeannette! I love to read how another poet views my work. They always provide new insight, find meanings I never explored!... Fran
