THE DANCE She rounds about the ballroom silk ruffles whispering as she whirls. Her partner dapper in uniform the envy of all the other girls. There are tears upon her cheeks smiles to belie the sadness inside. Her beau off to battle with the dawn champion steed her knight does ride. For the moment is the music sweetly melancholy amidst the dancers. His lips brush hers, a promise in the garden her eyes full of questions, his without answers. Resumed, a world reduced to ballroom a happiness mask, a wearing of smiles. Promise of tomorrows made whole hearted a dance is enough.....if only for awhile.

this is lovely! I like it much "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

A very fine read I must say! What's meant to be will be and everything else is to learn from. A simple enough message, but altogether too frequently forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. Sonny |

The poignancy is what strikes me about this piece. The reference to her questioning eyes in the garden...very romantic and sad. Liked it very much!  Claire |
