Waltz with the Moonlight Purple skies bring about the reveries of moonlight waltzes, ancient memories one - two - three, one - two - three in my dreams and in heart's eye it's your visage I see one - two - three, dip and sway dance on heaven's skies - two - three again in your arms one - two - three a moonlight waltz, sweet reverie and again in your arms I shall be one - two - three, step from star to star dipping, swaying, swirl - two - three to a Texan moonlight waltz or in a Viennese parlor - two - three to a winsome, lonely melody one - two - three, in this night's dance swirl - two - three is there a chance skip - two - three towards moonlight's beam and madness presses upon the waltz here lovers should not be false as clasp and kiss on dark side of moon bolder now, in your arms I shall swoon one - two - three, one - two - three step and sway take me now on the Danube so blue as I waltz away in hope with you as in the appointed hour we dream to waltz upon the night's moonbeam… ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 18 September, 2000 |

This is truly inspiring. While waltzing one sheds all the worries in the world with every turn and life is good, especially when the dancing partner is the One! Beautiful dedication to Ticklefingers, dear Karilea! Love, Margherita |

Miss Sunshine! I found this at the bottom of the 'page' and was I ever surprised! I see that you posted this very lovely lyrical on the twelfth. I was away for awhile and became virtually 'disconnected'. I must say that I'm most grateful for your post and was fully into each step. You've waltzed before and I have no doubt that you do so with the same grace, elegance and charm as when you write such beautiful poetry.. Should I see you from across the room, consider it a date, and though the music may fade, your 'Sunshine' is forever.  With warmest regards, Danny She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Only you could write a poem as delicate and beautiful as lace while repeating one - two - three, one - two - three. You are forever amazing ~L |

Now that some of my technical issues are done, I hope to be here a little more, Danny, and I do find your writing interesting. I have a fairly extensive archive of varied poems, so when someone reminds me of something similar, as you did, I tend to "share." Ask Lori...we were in a poetry group where everyone shared, and encouraged one another. And Lori, I miss our group. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. |

Thank you, Michael. I know the poem is not perfect, but it loves me, just the same. |
