"Can You Dance..."

You play well...
but can YOU dance?

Let spirit float
where it would go...
twirlin', twirlin'
flowing round
free to be
amongst the points
of light we see -
within and without,
all the same.

Would you taste
of harmony and harmonies,
the moment's melody
and whisper on
and on and on -
as swirling by
each the other sees
kindred memories
of yet to be's?

Would you sing
with voiceless tones
that echo soft
yet clear throughout
all the places
you've never been...
the undreamt dreams'
perhaps never wills.

Can you dance?

Will you -

dance

- with me?

Dance can change over the years...into somewhat more sedate motion but more nestled...always did love this one xx

Wow.. so alluring. I love this! I enjoyed reading it. It made me imagine this poem in my head. =) Beautiful piece!

Flows in and out of the soul, this one....

This nearly lulled me to sleep. It started off as though a teacher was speaking, then fell into a very sweet ending with 'will you dance with me?' The repetition of words had an echoing effect to them, like a flashback, which I felt was extremely clever.

And oh ...
how I love to dance and dance and dance, swirling twirling, floating on air;
dance while the wind tickles my feet, dancing on air keeping the beat.
Oh so wonderful to dance to the blues...
so...
Yes...I'll certainly dance with you ;-)

as swirling by
