Dance With Me

Dance With Me by "Orleans" 
One of my favorite songs in the 70s!




heart beats

in double time

an arrhythmia of sorts

eyes averted / they remain silent

movement / their narrative

 

step after step

in perfect synchrony

music lifts them

past the setting sun

 beyond the rising moon

    Dearest Helen,
    Did not know this group... But it is good music and your poem is perfect.
    Know fully the meaning of 'step after step in perfect synchrony'.
    My late first husband and I were like that. His one year older brother was too but he got killed by a postal car while he was riding on the bikers lane with his moped...
    One time we will dance again; one cannot continuously have it ALL. Got already so much.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    I saw Orleans back in the 70s! They naturally played this song.

    That is what we all hope for I suppose, for our hearts to beat as one with another... A perfect harmony/symmetry
