The Dance

I made this for an L.A. project

(Free verse)

A dance is like a breath of spring

Your heart can be exposed

A heart is like a young sapling

Nurture it and it will grow

 

Breath in the steps and you will find

Music will be strong and true

You can dance and maybe sing

Nature will work it’s course

 

You need to trust each other

Keep this memory

Within your back pocket

Cherish the song

 

The piano reminds me of your words

The lyrics remind me of your arm

The tune reminds me of us

The song reminds me of The Dance

[The Exiled Wolf]

The Dance triggers so many vivid memories. The dance starts with a dance, brings back the memory, and back to the dance. I love this formulation - as perfect as a circle. Love this lighthearted piece!

[G. B. Banks]

nice piece. jovial and care-free. enjoyed

[Jacob Clifford]

Very nice personification and use of similes in this piece. We have a way of associating music with memories, and this poem expresses that very well.

Thank you, you are quite observant.
