Dancing in Circles

By Linrose

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

We danced round and round to the haunting sound of a long-ago waltz ~ When the music halts ~ Still dancing in circles. We danced round and round through the fog of years ~ Forgetting our tears ~ Remembering the sound ~ Still dancing in circles. We danced round and round on the hard cold ground ~ Under a sky so grayed ~ The waltz was not played ~ Still dancing in circles. We dance round and round ~ Though there is no sound ~ Awaiting the light ~ To once more take flight ~ While dancing in circles. Written October 12th, 2000 © on Oct 01 2001 11:38 PM PST   0 • 10
