Rain Dance
~”I see the dance, our reflection shines in a pool of water; I ponder fate and chance, and reflect on life and how we got here…”~
Me beautiful, sweet Lady Jennifer
Ever I remain thy loyal Knight errant
If it would so please thee, me good Maiden fair
Bestow great honor upon thy humble servant
My dearest, grant me my wish I do beseech
The pleasure of your charming company
Take my hand, join me in a dance at the beach
We two, on the sand, in the rain, by the sea
Canopied ‘neath me ol’ bumbershoot
We shall rollick, frolic, and clown around
I in me best topper an’ tails to suit
You in your elegant, angelic gown
Come dance with me, my lovely Lady fair
Let us kick off our dress-‘em-up shoes
Prance on the sand in the cool, salty air
A grand promenade of just we two
Two hearts beating in time like a drum
As the sun set a stage of orange, red, and gold
The music’s a symphony of nature’s rhythm
In the dance a tale of romance is told
As we whirl and twirl in our dance de jour
Faces shining with the kiss of ocean mist
In melodious embrace as down the rain pours
As if in a dream within a dream of bliss
A truly enchanted, magical eve
Flitting about in the fairy fire lights
The tapestry of life in the dancer’s weave
A moment of time taken to exuberant heights
Our feet barely touching the sandy floor
Gliding blithely along in lover’s embrace
Succumbing to the Siren’s song allure
Gently caressing each other’s face
The storm carried on, and so did we
Dancing in the shadow of boardwalk lights
The sound of waves crashing on the beach
The lighthouse beacon shining in twilight
In fluid motion elegant yet primal
Intuitive movement graceful, genteel
Two become one, singular and simple
Our souls wrapped in rapture of a love so real
Drenched in a torrent of rain and love
Like two children playing in a puddle
Kicking up water, sand, and mud
Minds spellbound in a cloud all a fuddle
The dance we do is the dance of life
An inborn gift to jitterbug through
The valleys and mountains as husband and wife
A tango which only soul mates can do
My Angel and I took our flight of fancy
Soaring above the sea, clouds, and rain
Together forever we shall go on dancing
For in each other’s arms there is on pain
We will dance in the sun or rain by the sea
While time goes by and on forever
The dance, however, may not last eternally
But then time sometimes stands still for lovers
