Let the Music Play

Until you
I have never danced a day
In my life by choice
There have been times
I did so to be kind and attentive
But I always did so with reluctance
And without joy

The music was better
Held more meaning
Without my body set in motion
Competing for the words and melody
Interfering with my private thoughts

Then you entered my life
Slowly, I heard a new melody
Calling me from the distance
Beckoning me to follow
It into the moonlit night
On the snow covered beach

At the top of the sand dune
I found you waiting for me
Your hand extended
Heart open
A small bonfire blazing
On the beach
And in my heart

Together we danced
Waltzed with the wind
Kissed passionately
Under the sun and stars
Roasted marshmallows
And drank champagne
Until the sun rose
Celebrating love

My soul dances to
The sultry rhythm
Of your soul
Night and day
In my prayers I ask God
To let the music forever play
