Sharing a poem from a friend.

SHADOW DANCE

I looked at you, long and deep

Wishing you'd rise from your sleep.

I gently held your soft hand

Needing you beside me to stand.

To the sound of our song, I asked

"May I please have this dance?"

You stood instantly without hesitation

So glad you heeded my invitation.

Feeling your body so close to me

Our slow dance calmed all my anxiety

For you know dancing isn't easy

More so asking to dance with my baby.

We danced in the darkness of night

Nothing around, no one in sight.

Just you and me on the dance floor

but still feeling sheepish after all.

I love our shadow as we danced

Thank you for this wonderful chance

To feel you close to me

To feel your heartbeat one with me.

We danced the evening away

No one else but our shadow in unity

This is for the love we share alone

but not for the world to know.

We had our shadow dance in the darkness

Like the love we have to hold in secret.

Nothing else to ask for once you're mine

And perhaps forever we'd dance, in time.
