When You Dance

When you dance it is like watching flames reach toward the stars.
Hearing you speak of the fire under your toe pads
Engulfs my soul, warming my heart.
Never have you ever been so ready to burn.

You dance like a leaf torn from a tree,
Over and over again.
Underneath a candy apple smile and angel kissed nose is an autumnal soul

Dancing is you and painting is me,
And I want to see where we will be.
Not only do I wish to see you grow but to see you 
Continuously shine like the goddess 
Everyone will be willing to praise.
