A poem of love, life, and tragedy but mostly enduring love. |
Danse de Vie .......... The calm and quiet shore was kissed By the sleepy, shrouding, evening mist And as I walked there near the sea A gentle voice did call to me... "Come, join me in the dance". I wandered from the quiet shore Through emerald mist on forest floor And, as gentle rain began to fall, Once again I heard her call... "Come, join me in the dance". I came upon a rocky nave And there inside this hidden cave A thousand candles and sparkling eyes As blue as summer's cloudless skies. I saw a maiden standing there With sapphire eyes and skin so fair. Such beauty took my breath away And once again I heard her dare... "Come, join me in the dance". Outside beneath starlit skies We danced before the sparkling eyes Danced beneath the full moon bright Throughout the seeming endless night... My heart had joined her dance. All the Summer I would spend Believing it would never end The wondrous joy of love we'd share 'Neath summer's sun in the salty air... The waltz of love we danced. With the Autumn breezes came The promise of another name A child that my queen would bear A princess whom our love would share... She joined us in the dance. Cold and wind and frost arrived On Winter's stormy, troubled tide The music stopped. It would not play Princess and Queen had gone away... Death had joined our dance. From worlds beyond their spirits call From memories and ghostly halls "Live for us and do not cry For if you live, we will not die..." Forever we will dance. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These two beautiful souls passed on before me and I live in the shadow of their memories, waiting for the time when once again I hear... "Come join me in the dance". |
