He walked out to the foot of the lake stood in the very spot where they had danced under the stars and moon while love had sang a tune to them from time ago As the breeze off the lake served to try to dry the stream upon his face he softly hummed the tune that before he had heard under the moon at this place The remembrance of steps crept into his mind as with his shadow he danced beneath the stars for one last time Unlike before when earth had stood still gone was romance replaced by a chill As he remembered the soul he saw in her eyes gentle wind began to blow as if softly it heard his demise A step to the left a swirl to the right he silently wept while dancing this night Shadows was his partner remembered romance his stage he dreamed all he could garner from love's expensive wage As he danced on in the night a storm approached from the north he paid no mine and danced in time to the memory back and forth The blizzard raged the temperature fell he danced and danced remembered romance his mind brought back to well The next day they found him frozen in time his last dance now complete his tracks all around upon the ground where he had placed his feet And as his body was placed into the ground without a sound the winds did once again blow silent romance she remembered their dance at the foot of the lake so long...ago Copyright © 2001 Dennis Hicks |

I mean... some people call me Shadows...and I danced by a lake with a man on a night and...well, that's another story... nevermind, it's just strange that you would write this... your real name isn't Karl, (gulp) is it? |
