This popped into my head as I was listening to music. The idea would not go away so I decided to write it down.
Hope you enjoy the
SHADOW DANCE.
Love BonBon

Shadow Dance

Sitting listening to easy sounds
Words of love and forgiveness float about the room
Relaxing in a chair, head back, eyes beginning to close
A coolness brushes my cheek
Eyes open in a languid state
A stately Shadow tips his hat and gently bows
Holds out his hand coaxing me to come join him in the
Shadow Dance.
I feel the magic beneath my feet
As we swirl around the room in a titillating dance
of
love and questioning intrigue.
I feel my heart beating to the rhythm of the music
The Shadow holds me near
I can hardly breathe
I feel his cooling breath upon my cheek,
nibbling gently upon my ear,
tongue trailing down my neck.
I awake with a start
The music has stopped
I gaze into the dimly lit room
As my dream begins to fade
My friendly Shadow begins to disappear into the
corners of darkness
But before he completely fades away he turns
tips his hat and gently bows and is no more.
I lay my head back and say to myself
It’s just a dream
My imagination running into tired restlessness
Whoever heard of dancing with a Shadow
and
doing a Shadow Dance?
