Stepping Through Time

I'm a visitor from tomorrow In the realm of yesterday Some dance steps I'll borrow When the music starts to play The band strikes up a tune Its rhythm hits the spot We glide across the room In graceful steps of the foxtrot I gaze into her eyes Their fame is set in song Her full lips glisten like the dew Upon the rose of morn Her sense of humor I knew was great, I knew about her feud and the one she loved to hate, But words would not intrude We never say a word The answers that I seek are in her eyes inferred And so, we let the music speak - 1/26/17

Now this piece really intrigued me all shrouded in mystery. I can't help but ask, is it Bette Davis??? Joseph, you are ever the master poet - reading your pieces are always a learning experience for me! Thank you for the lessons and an enjoyable read, my friend! A-7! Pandita
