The Dance

We are experts at the dance of drawing near And you lift your hand, as though my hand to touch; I approach this lovely dance with lingering fear, For I simply cannot swing into this trust. You are expert at the dance of drawing near, Yet I fear to take your hand, t'would be too much; I slide away from the promise of this dance, With fancy moves I memorize, then enhance.

Hi Deb. Beautiful words expressing fear of commitment. (I hope that I read right) The enhancement of longing with apprehension. of climbing high in case of falling. Wonderful. Eamon

Wow, I wrote a very similar poem, "What Is This Dance?" Deb. You captured my sentiments about misperceived actions by elusive partners so well. Awesome, my friend! Love, Carolyn
