Should We Dance

Should we dance?
  just let the evening shadows slide away
that leave only our footprints as if on parade,
  to trace the floor board that bends
around the corners of the lifeless room expanse.

Do you ever think of those days
  when nothing stood in our way
and we barely children on the brink
  of days and futures passing in a wink
in what seemed the dance on the edge of time.

Bring me back a moment
 with memory of all that once awaited
the travels of our lives contemplated
 and forged by unmeasured wile and circumstance
where life swayed to the rhytm of the lasting dance.
