The Music

Let me hear a little music,
   some old yet familiar song
that leads to me believing lucid
   in dreams that come along.

Let the music play and dance
   bring you closer to my heart
keep me sober and entranced
   by the touch that might draw us apart.

Hold me here, safe and wondering
   why time slips away so quick
and what we hold most dear is thundering
  fearing what my mind and soul predict.

Hold fast and steady
  give in to the sway of the dance 
I'm listening forever ready
  to live life within each advance.

Step right, step left, step slow
  two together on the well worn floor
in the music lay the dreams of all we know
  the melody of love lived well cannot be ignored.

Let the music play, this beautiful unending song,
   bonding two lovers on wind swept waves upon the sea
cast aways enamored with hope and dreams eternally reborn
   living in the music of that ever playing melody.

If we are too busy to dance and sing, we are just too busy.

We live because of the dance, ever flowing us thru life's escapades and boredom. Thanks for stopping in to read.
