Laura hosts Meeting the Bar in the Poets Pub ~ our challenge, to create a 'fragment poem'. I used the last three lines from the last stanza of Leonard Cohen's "Take This Waltz" song ~ which was influenced by Federico Garcia Lorca's "Little Viennese Waltz Poem." The lines I chose are italicized in red.
a gift from the universe ~
this moment carved from eternity
our bodies a language
spoken without words
O my love, O my love
each turn, each pivot
sweet fire burns within.
we are infinite, we are free
we are music, we are dance
lost in a cadence of our creation
take this waltz, take this waltz
every heartbeat a promise
every touch our solemn vow
it's yours now, it's all that there is.
