In this square
I took a chance -
Beneath the moon
I hummed a tune
And slowly, slowly
You began to dance.
Fragile steps at first.
I held your hand
And blindly
You led me
Whirling round
The plaza.
No sight.
No sound.
But you knew...
You just knew
How to guide me.
How to feel your every move
To the music in our heads.
And a gateway opened
And we fell through.
Head
Heart
and heels
................into love.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this in Plaza de La Luna in Madrid when I lived in the Malasaña barrio. One crowded early evening in the square as I sat with a drink watching the ebb and flow- I noticed a girl lead her boyfriend into the centre and, oblivious to everyone around them, they began to dance slowly. Later, I realised the girl was blind - it was a touching and magical moment.

A once in a lifetime experience and you pen the occasion so memorably Keith - -- I shall remember that beautiful duo dancing and she without sight will be in my mind for always now. Thanking you so much for sharing that magical moment with us.
It makes my work all worthwhile to hear such a reaction, Fay. Thank you.
Beautiful words Keith, their love must have shone from them as they danced.

It did, a remarkable scene - I felt like I ws the only one who had noticed them - and they were wonderfully oblivious anyway to people passing by.
