THE DANCE


All is silent
The sun is setting
I close my eyes
And begin my journey
I go to the astral
And build a Ballroom
Every detail remembered
The orchestra arrives
Now I go in search of you
A flash and I see you
I ask you to come with me
You are covered in blue light
Appearing as a gown
The music begins
Filling the room
We twirl
You move with the grace of
An angel
I hold you close
As we fly across
Green marble
Just the two of us
The world a distant memory
I let you go
You fly through the ceiling
Your eyes smiling
I awake
And slowly rise
All is silent
