She can’t help herself –
her toes beg to tap on a dance-floor of gold.
Her feet undulate and shimmer, prance and quiver,
pulses of energy on surface of steel.
She teases and entices,
twirling and swirling to the beat of
the Universe’s great heart;
she intuitively moves
to its rhythmic cadence.
Her pace quickens as the music fades into the night.
Desperate, she tries one more move,
one more spin on the dance-floor,
and then,
spent,
her eyelids fall on the evening,
and the dance
is at an end.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
this is very special!
Thank you, Linda! 🙂
Fantastic. What a beautiful interpretation!
Thank you, Bill!
(grin) I know that Dad’s spirit would agree – but this is now Stacey commenting to you – And the thanks are to you – oh, how I wish I could capture that image as beautifully – to see the world through your eyes. Wonderful.
I’m sorry that I replied in a way that may have hurt you – a good reminder to be careful when I don’t ‘know’ someone just yet! Thank you for clarifying things, Stacey – and you DID see the world through my eyes , which gives me pause and makes me humbled and awed. Thank you for you part in making my day a great one!
Melody – in no way did you offend me – but thank-you for your so gracious apology. I’m honoured that someone as talented a writer as you can issue these words to me. Your work is amazing – humbled? YOu? I am the one who is humbled. Million thank-yous and a big TTFN! (Ta-ta-for-now, my Dad always parted)
TTFN, then! 🙂 Enjoy your day!
Oh WOW, this is really really Wonderful, Melody!!
Thanks! I thought you might like it, being the party animal that you are! 😉
Cosmic sun dance.. great concept! 🙂
Thanks! It is a challenge to come up with yet another way to depict the sunset – or love, or any other much-written about concept, isn’t it?
It sure is, but you’re so good at it 🙂
Wow – thanks!
Love your gift of writing and the photo. Great job!
Thank you Melody!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. This is my absolute favorite one! Did I mention that I LOVE this!
Wow – thanks so much, Kristina!
