Poem Artwork



In regressing here this evening
Thinking over days gone by
Living life with dignity
Taking stress in stride
I've found that unimportant things
Were given up to chance
For details are a memory
I settled for a slow dance
To taste the heady passions
To smell the blooming flowers
To climb a tree when I chose
Get soaked in April showers
To take a trip to Europe
Having never left my home
With a Gypsy spirit antsy
My curiousity roamed
I met the rich and famous
I felt the desert air
I tripped the light fantastic
Because I have no fear
In case you might be wondering
Why I took such chance
Those details now are memoriea
As I opted for a slow dance.

Memories can turn to a dance and even more so those memories within a slow dance can place one within numerous memories more...

Done that, too...
not yet with you.
The slower the dance,
Faster hearts prance

Your poem is a lovely thing...
no matter when displayed.

As I get older the more I appreciate the beauty and the connection of the slow waltz. It is passion joined to music what better way to show love.

And who doesn't love a slow dance, soft music, dim lights and that lazy slide on the dance floor. Great as usual. Victor

Excellent flow and message Belle. And always better a slow dance than a wheelchair. Blessings and Light to you dear friend ...
