A pause in the music

The dance of the heart is free form.
It has no lead and no follow.

It is inspired by the music of another
and has no set pattern.

I take three steps this way
on the floor of life
and we're dancing.

You take two steps backwards
and then
we're not.

A pause in the music.
A pause in the steps.

Eyes lock, hands touch, hips sway
and we're moving, again,
in unison.

Compelled by the rhythm
drawn into the dance willingly
both leading, and following.

Spinning with hearts on sleeves,
Gasping for breath.

And dizzy with the joy of it all.
