The Dance


do not move
you will break the moment
did you like the dance
there is a moment in time
when the wind stirs the trees
and song birds are in the sky
there is music to face
and I shall face mine

“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

Hoping it is a graceful composition, Helen, like this.  *smile*

smiling wide, and here I was thinking, that I should just go outside and enjoy the day...

I may not be dancing (yet) but on the inside I am--now.

Thank you love.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Helen,
This is so stunning... just like everything else we have come to expect from you.
It is writing like this that makes me glad to be back.

You may burn my flag... only after you wrap yourself in it first.
