The Dance Begins

by Alex Knight

You softly beckon

Opening patio doors

I step out into the moonlight

Barefoot, I make my way

Pebbles and larger stones

Make their marks on my feet

The way your love made its

Mark on my heart

At water's edge my robe is shed

I arch my back stretch out my arms

Spinning slowly

I luxuriate in the warm zephyr

That caresses my body

The way your words caressed my mind

I know you're out there

Watching - waiting

Tilting my chin I purse my lips

Issuing an invitation that remains

Unanswered

Night after night

I follow my heart

To the water's edge

Perhaps tomorrow

I will continue my walk

And we will dance once more

Under the waves
