The Dance Begins |

The Dance begins, and I've no one to take my hand It's been so long since I've danced, it's a wonder I'm here at all I can see all of them out there, they seem so happy I used to be like that, dancing my life away. But the Dance ended for me long ago What a Dance it was though, You and I would be gone until the rise of the Sun We would move and sway and flow without a care. But the Dance is over now, and I don't even know if I can hear the music. That's when I felt the tap on my shoulder, And that voice, "Pardon me Miss, may I have this dance?" He said from beneath that hat, That hat that gave him confidence, even though he's still a bit shy You would think that he's done this before and with all of the others there, clamoring for his attention, why would he want to Dance with me? But, I've learned not to ask, even though I've always been a little shy myself So, I took that chance, and I said, "You may Cowboy" And so, we Danced, and the world disappeared. passion is life. . . ~Diana |

With the spurs on his boots jinglin like mad He gazed upon the lady waiting for a dance to be had His eyes full of stars and his mind just a bit hazy He fell into her stare and his heart went crazy No longer would he wonder if he would share this dance As this lovely lady has agreed to give him a chance His feet as light as feathers as he took her soft hand Dancing across the heavens with her will surely be grand Yes, then the world disappeared......... You will never discover new oceans if you are afraid to lose sight of the shore. |

 The skies reflect the mood in the night As two hearts find they can no longer fight Trusting in the friendship they have grown Dancing among the clouds calling them their own Softly wrapped in each others careful embrace Waiting for the flow of emotions they now face Caring gazes resting in each others eyes of trust Living the music that over time has become a must [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 12-29-2000).] |

Wow. I'm just a little amazed to see the responses to this one. Irish Rose, thank you. I'm glad that you liked it. Sunshine, I really didn't MEAN to write this with anyone in mind, it just happened that way!  Thank you.Cathy, thank you so much! PoetdeVine, thank you for your words, they mean a lot. Janet Marie, sometimes, if you wait, you get that chance. I don't know if this is it, but we'll see. Thank you. Mark, well, okay, you caught me. How can I thank you for all that you've done for me? You've been a great friend, and the only way that I knew to thank you was in this way. If no one else minds, may I cut in?? passion is life. . . ~Diana |

There is nothing like the memory of such a dance, is there? You have a beautiful writing style. Thanks for sharing. "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |
