    Dance Me

    2009

    Dance me to an echo’s beat
    A pulse of tests and time
    Dance me to a gecko’s feet
    Of sticky words and rhyme

    Dance me kindly
    Dance me blindly
    Dance me to the ends

    Dance me lightly
    Dance me flightly
    Dance – forever friends

    Dance me to a wicked wind
    A swirl of leaves and dust
    Dance me even though I’ve sinned
    With angry words and lust

    Dance me badly
    Dance me madly
    Dance me to the ends

    Dance me wildly
    Dance me childly
    Dance – forever friends

    Dance me to a different tune
    A rhythm soft and slow
    Dance me to a waning moon
    Of memories’ ebb and flow

    Dance me surely
    Dance me purely
    Dance me to the ends

    Dance me sadly
    Dance me gladly
    Dance – forever friends
