A Dance To Remember

  

Across the floor I went

My knees about to fold

Not sure what to say

Not really expecting a yes

But with last call said

It was my only chance.

 

A sincere yes out something

I haven’t felt in quite a while…

 

Confidence!!

 

Stepping on the dance

We moved in step

Hands locked tightly

Bodies close enough

To know what each other

was feeling.

 

Not a word was spoken

For our movements said it all…

 

Life is still there.

 

When the last note faded

So did you into the crowd

Leaving me to trip home alone

But giving me so much more

To look forward to.

 

That moment we shared

Had showed me…

 

I have a lot of dancing left to do.

 

Every time that sweet tune

Haunts my ears

I will remember you

Beautiful woman

Whose name I never knew.

 

Forever I will be grateful

For giving me…

 

A second chance.

A very wistful feeling about this. It floats and moves about just like a dance. You captured the feeling of uncertainty at the beginning. But the ending is so poignant. Very touching statement of lost hope being recaptured just from a simple dance. Makes one realize how much we can touch others with such simple kindnesses.
I liked it a lot!

Dale, this was so beautiful. I love how such important statements you have standing alone in one or two lines. I though it added great impact to what the piece was conveying. This piece speaks to me, cowboy!!! :) I loved it.

I loved these lines. In fact, I really loved the entire poem!
