One Last Dance

Times goes unseen as it dances across the days unheard It sings a happy song unnoticed It soars above the sky untouched It smiles pirouettes of joy Only when the music slows becomes aware Across the room a stained-glass window where reflects a face surrendering a hidden truth We look down at our dancing shoes stained and worn Scuffed and scarred Souls revealing all the miles not noticed before For why would secrets be unveiled amidst young hearts Where years are but pictures minutes only words Faces once filled with dreams of light stare through fog covered memories with the eyes of a child astonished and bewildered how soon a dance turns into a walk Faltering upon the stones of a pathway a song loudly whispers, the silence quickly grows Wind wisping on a canvas of clouds like a dancer whirling past tired eyes Times has brought forth the steps again a tender waltz to romance a moment long remembered Around the floor abandoned in love holding on to yesterday's dreams Lost in the eyes of a ghostly partner ONE LAST DANCE
