~~~~~A Light-Dancer,
she sways and twirls in the moonlight.
Twirling round and round
until she falls to the ground
breathless with her feverish
stepping, her toe-to-toe
twirling ballet.Her raven-colored
hair spread out on the grass.
While the Moon sends fingers of gold
to caress her silken tresses.
She lies silent...contempating
the movement, the meaning
in her dance with the brazen Moon.

It is her heart that speaks
rhythms, that sings love songs.
He waits in the shadows,
in the mist of her dreams.
Worshipping the way she twirls,
the way she steps.And, he exhales
stars to radiate even more light
for the Light-Dancer's dancing.She
rises from the ground...refreshed in
her resting, in her dreaming.He holds
her in her dreams and speaks to her feet.
Shadow and light twirling together,
hand in hand with the brazen Moon.

What a dance! Whirl and flying across the floor. I see it all, the woman in repose, the man enraptured. I especially liked the lines

'It is her heart that speaks
rhythms, that sings love songs'

They speak, just as her heart does, of rhythm and dance. Excellent piece of writing!

Ivy Rose,
You and moonlight...What a dance!
Write on, dream on, dance on.
