Flame held in a jarred candle begging for a glance a second chance children dancing to the beat at my feet Bells ringing - can you hear them? tap tap tinkling morse code . . . eyes darting to and fro Souls wafting into the deep dark night legends rising with the smoke burning flesh it seems . . . it seems . . . meeting the midnight moon hush . . . hush . . .this is between you and I - eyes darting from earth to sky Children jarred candle dancing silver shining bells romancing tap tap tinkling morse code in seductive rhyme IT IS TIME [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-24-2003 08:06 AM).] |

This reminds me of a show I watched on gypsy rights of passage, maybe not what you meant, but it jumped into my mind.At a very young age some gypsies have a tradition of seductive dancing for the younger girls, as a way of signing of marriages for early teens.Prob not what you meant. Jason |

My aunt said I was born with a gypsy soul. Not sure if my dancing was ever really seductive, but I've sure moved around a lot, and I sure enjoyed this write. Now, where in the heck did I stash my tambourine and veil? |
