waltz mote

I watched
for a time

 

I had to choose
among the colours

 

among the drifters

 

discern
amongst the rhythms
that moved them
the lights
that illuminated them

 

I had to choose one
that was pretty

 

and then
I joined in

 

we moved around

 

we shone
and we sparkled
around
and around

 

we danced

 

around and around
and
around and around

 

the last remaining
on the dance floor
one more twirl
around
in the light

 

then we parted
and the music …
