Crisp and clear each note rings
of this lovers waltz we hear

From across the great hall
we make our way to one another

With an ever so subtle smile
you reach out your hand

I draw it to my lips and place
my arm slowly about your waist

We begin to move together and without so much
as a flutter, our eyes become full with each others presence

'I am yours and you are mine' they seem to say  
for whatever time we have together

Just us two alone with no thoughts past ourselves,
flowing through flood rushes of warm emotions

Then, all too soon, the music draws down and begins to fade away
And as it does you begin to fade away along with it

                              ...until I can see you no more


She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Thanks JerryPat.

Isn't it amazing that in quiet moments we can recall ten minutes out of 45 years or more?

There is a God.

I think I've written of a waltz or two. This is lovely.

Music allows us to experience emotions that are forever stored along with the tunes, that stirred our heart. And Waltz is perfect for this "purpose".

Very nicely expressed, dear Ticklefingers.

Ticklefingers - If you can recall ten minutes out of 45 years, wait 'til you get to 80. Whoa! Then you'll also know there is a God 'cause he'll be the one smiling at ya. LOL. Most enjoyed your work Ticklefingers.
