Confusion

Floating there
In the evening air
Cadence in two’s and three’s
How peaceful the sight
Of honeysuckle light
Weaving deftly among bushes and trees

Though I cannot recall
Spring, Summer, or Fall
When last I’d witnessed the Waltz
I’ll remember this day
For Death has held sway
And my love is at rest in the vault

But this do I know
She’d loved watching it so
This Dance of the Fireflies
And when I see them there
In the evening air
I know truly;
Love never dies.

WOW.  Took me back to my youth and summers in the Midwest.  A light and happy remembrance work for a love that has left this world.
