A MOMENT AWAY  
8 October 2006

leaf, brown-curled,
lifting softly,
seductively,
wind-floating,
sixties’ tune,
velvet-voiced,
feather-finger touch
on a waiting shoulder,
oh, yes, I will dance with you
and the life behind things.

Thank you, WolfsMate, Unboundpoetess, Margherita and Marchmadness.  It is about a guy way back then in my church whom I thought was interested in me, but wasn't.

Nice Idea Owl, you begin the music of words and finally get the dance, very well crafted and subtle...
