The Dancer

The music begins as I close my eyes.
I feel the wind,
as the curtains rise.
To my partners arms,
I approach with grace.
I feel his hair brush across my face.
Caught in the moment,
only we exist.
Heads all turn,
as our bodies twist.
He lifts me with ease,
and I touch the sky,
imagining clouds are drifting by.
I’ve choreographed this scene on the stage,
we stop in time,
as I search the page.
A tear finds its way,
things aren’t what they seem.
My eyes are now open.
it was only a dream

    Thank you for your heart-touching poem and a perfect photo to go along! ” Things aren’t what they seem is so true, be it a dream or some events in our awake moments.

      Thanks and true and also…you have been on my mind! I was worried and ready to check up on you. I hope you disappeared for happy reasons. Or maybe i just imagined you were missing.
