Can you not--
see?
her dancing...
What rhythm
of her heart
is bleak?
Do you not
feel
moon entrancing?
Defy it.
(though your knees be weak.)

Oh--close those eyes,
listen--LISTEN.
Allow her voice
entice your ear...
The last two notes
(those words she spoke...)
the cleansing salt
of yearning's tears.

Oh Beautiful Serenity!!!
I swayed with this......

                  Can you not--
                  see?
                  her dancing...
                  What rhythm
                  of her heart
                  is bleak?
                  Do you not
                  feel
                  moon entrancing?
                  Defy it.
                  (though your knees be                     weak.)

Loved this very much, flowed beautifully!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! wishing you love and joy!
and have a Merry time !

Thanks for your kind wishes.  

 My grief lies onward and my joy behind

It's amazing to me sometimes just how much power the title of a poem holds... This is nicely done under any guise..

I can.
I can see her
I can hear her
I can feel her.
Thanks to your beautiful words.
I can

I've danced with agility ... but never with serenity
but ... no problem
just curl up your toes and smile

there's no one who appreciates a good dance like me, but to put dancing into the rhythm-ful verse you have is quite a feat! most impressive, serenity. you have captured that feeling of dancing on air.

i like the lines:
Allow her voice
entice your ears

it's nice to let the lady to lead sometimes. =)

We all got our demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
