The Dance

Outside my window,

hidden behind the curtains,

the shadows danced

silently,

shadow and moonlight

partnered

dancing to music

only they could hear,

music of their own making

carried on the late night air.

 

And I,

hearing my own song sung,

my own music played,

joined them, silently,

            partnered with shadow, too,

swirling, twirling,

turning, a slow waltz,

dancing,

carried down a long path

to home

and back again.
