Outside
The summer sun
Is blazing

The dry air
Is full of dust
The smells of sweat
And things that animals
Seem to do all the time

Here in this hall alone
After all the others have gone
Moving a tune
Let’s dance in silence
Upon the wooden floor

I’ll hold you just far enough
Apart to look into your eyes
See there all that brought me here
A young man full of dreams

And we’ll while an hour
Together as if in love
In that starlit world
Under a silver moon

And I hear a Viennese waltz softly in the background and see you and her in a long flowing dress (her in the dress, that is, not you, lol!) moving around the floor as one, fading in and out of reality . . .

Together as if in love



Sometimes "as if" makes the world shine brighter and dreams manifest.

Enjoyed the softness in this and the eye touch which makes dancing DANCING ...
