Dance in a circle

one of my older works

 

You play with me as an old friend

We dance in a circle

You on the outside and me in the middle

 

Oh the fun we have

You build me up make my soul brighter

To hear your laughter as I go higher

 

I love the colors you wear

The ribbon in your long flowing hair

We dance, me in the middle

 

Is your dress of satin or silk

It flows like the pouring of milk

Come a little close for me to have a look

 

As the light falls on your beautiful face

You stumble and fall into my warm embrace

My love of you there will be not a trace.

 

The silk will sizzle and burn

Worry not soon it will be your turn

Sorry my love to late did you to learn.

Author's Note

Late in the year there was a huge, tragic fire in the forests of Canada and it got me thinking of the dangers of fire. How may people more in particular, children are lost or forever scared by the beast we know as Fire.

I deliberately used a little girl in this poem for they have the perception of being more careful than little boys, having been a boy once. I wanted to the poem to come across more shocking that what it did.

It came across with the seduction and curiosity that fire ignites in all of us. Well done.
Blessed be
