Dancing In Her Arms.

Goldfinch60



It’s happened again

The tears come to my eyes.

The music plays

And an image comes to me,

The slow beat of the song

Makes me want to dance,

Remembering the dancing

With my lover in my arms

As we sway together dancing,

Dancing in harmony,

Our love radiating from our hearts

Into the room around us.

That love has grown since she passed

But some memories from music

Bring her back into my arms,

While the tears fall down my cheeks.

  

Why does music do this to me?

    Music pulling at the heart-strings, recalling happy memories.
    Happy, except if I sing along to the music. heehee. Hope I don't turn up to sing!

      Thank you yellow rose, I have some great memories, especially of Joyce and I and our wonderful time together over so many years.

      To see truly good young singing talent on TV has a similar effect on me Andy. Dunno why, it cuts to memories of my young singing days and total lack of self confidence even though i was fronting a band. I guess theres something just cuts through the bullshit of everyday and connects with an inner longing.

      • Goldfinch60

        So very true d a, it is surprising how music has this effect on that 'inner longing'.

        May those memories never leave you Andy. I'm sure Joyce is smiling with happy tears that you wrote this in memory of her.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you AP, I am sure that she is.

          'The slow beat of the song
          Makes me want to dance,
          Remembering the dancing
          With my lover in my arms
          As we sway together'..
          as we sway, you say - in the now of remembered serenity
          and may it always, always remain this way
          for you and your beloved: too..
          wonderful use of repetition Andy
