  The Lady and
   the Dance

I was a shadow
walking empty-
midnight streets
of dark memories
with a hollow,
brittle heart
of saddened
discontent
and bleak
purpose,
in the face
of a cruel-
relentless
Winter wind,
until I saw
you dance
and smile.
Were I but the
thief of time,
I would have
frozen that
moment
of you …
as the very face,
breath, 'voice'
and spirit
of eternal
Spring.

Ah Bruce, barely autumn and you're hurrying up spring. Come on, even ice queens have passion hidden in their makeup somewhere. Heh.Heh.

I think you have frozen that moment just perfectly, Bruce.

So very lovely. You capture the moment in amber.
