Dance Of Terpischore

As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music. - Thoreau

in a fullhearted, lilting promenade of time

we spun 'neath an unpretentious, spacious moon

our steps as light and smooth as morning dew

hugging today and embracing tomorrow

hearts entwined like dashing roots in a forest

holding hands with destiny

taking a willing chance as our love stood up, curtsied and resolved to twirl

souls exposed to the core

spirits wanting more

bowing forever in a gracious, immortal. rapturous

dance of terpischore

Author's Note

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” - William W. Purkey
