Numbers fall neatly into place
Circa 1981
But I am busy dancing the only way I know how...
With words

Today...
It's a waltz
slow, steady, and romantic
One
   Two
      Three
            Four

I am leading
My words gowned in ebony ink
I in control
So 'round the page we go

I can almost hear the music
Slow, steady, and romantic
One
   Two
      Three
           Four

So this is Love...

There is no great passion of which to speak
Rather, a deep understanding and true affection
And that is enough
Swirling ebony-draped words
Over a lined floor

It is here that I have grace
Here that my movements have meaning
Here that I am in control
And I am whole

I understand and thank you for the music.
