The Dance, the Song

Life is a dance.
As the waves come in, I dance with the ocean
with songs of God’s love in my head.
On a passing cloud there floats a dream -
a river of dreams – sweet waters!

I love
winter’s magic – the long first date;
a huge surprise; a joyous time;
the hush of Christmas past; a walk in the snow;
utter tranquility - in the sun’s last glow.
Chocolate kisses, a pink crystal dawn;
a wonderful beautiful day;
a Valentine wedding; vow to my beloved;
winter’s blanket – as it glistens; winter loving!

To feel  - raindrops falling; the hope of bliss;
a season’s dance; a spring romance;
spring’s rhapsody; spring’s muse;
meadowlarks, the marigold – in a field of gold;
in a hidden garden – the bluest rose!

Red sun; red moon; a summer reverie; 
beyond a blue bay – breathtaking, summer splendor 
as sunset spills over;
butterfly kisses; whispers of love;
midnight romance; my galloping heart;
rocking into night – with joy overflowing -
an encounter of the once in a lifetime!

Autumn’s breath; the autumn’s breeze;
the lover wind; the waltz of the leaves;
to blossom gold – beneath October’s sky;
true love – in an autumn’s kiss;
old longings – not to be forgotten;
if I let my mind meander. . .
the fleeting ghost of you!

The gilded mountain sea – when hope shines out;
the hues that visit me: ordinary orange, green, 
bright beautiful red; unbearable beauty in blue;
a day’s purple adieu;
waterfall wishes on stars with no strings;
friendship – a comforting thing; gratitude, compassion;
the universe and more!

This dream called life – a poet’s happy dream;
a poet’s heaven; life’s meaning;
what love is – the sweetest song!

Absolutely wonderful, to take titles of your poems and then place them so that each line makes cohesive sense. Magical. Oh, I see that a title for your poems is essential for more than one reason.

Oh my gosh, exquisite. I had no idea until I read the explanation that that's what this was. I was looking for your poem that you mentioned in soup mail. Wow, this took me down so many lovely paths. You are truly a romantic Andrea. Loved it. <3

Wow, this is amazing, Andrea, that you could write a whole poem using nothing but titles of other poems you have written, I think I counted 81. But then you do have almost 3,000 to chose from. Nicely done my friend, I'm impressed. John
