The Dance Of Dances

She dances to her music gracefully,
     her choreography, at whim, profound.
With graceful twirls and spins, so dreamily,
     her rhythm flows to music without sound.

She dances to the music only she
     can hear- although I feel its lovely flow
and cadence shape her form; exquisitely
     she falls and rises with an artful show.

No music here, but just a silent song
     created by the currents that she feels;
with turns and twists, she aptly glides along,
     directed by, whichever one appeals.

She dances to her music wondrously;
     my muse- the soul mate of my poetry.
