waltz mote

Frank Prem

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 …

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    Thanks for posting FRANK it touched a Chord ! So often when you participate in a Formal Dance ~ At a Wedding ~ On Holiday ~ At a Conference etc ~ You dance fleetingly with a LADY and are lifted on too a higher plain ! You escort her back to her table and thank her for the pleasure ! You know (deep down) you will never see her again ~ BUT ~ wish you could ! Thanks for sharing BRIAN

    • Frank Prem

      Cheers Brian. I'm delighted you enjoyed this little dance. Thank you.

      Good write Frank.

      • Frank Prem

        Thanks O. Take your partner!

        • orchidee

          KP (Katie Price) me wife, wanted a dance, but I told her she needs to take this ball and chain off, that she put on me leg!

          • Frank Prem

            Get over it O. Onto the floor with the Katie P, and dance, you slacker!!

            • orchidee

              Ok then, but do you hear the clang of the ball and chain? It's a very slow waltz for me, lugging this about!

            • Laura🌻

              ...and the music played on !!
              Great write Frank! It certainly has touched a few chords!

              • Frank Prem

                Thanks Laura. I'm well pleased that you enjoyed it.

                A poignant write, my friend. May you be enjoying a good Christmas with friends and/or family, Frank!

                • Frank Prem

                  Working through Christmas, Louis, avoiding family as best I can, but having a good Christmas, regardless.

                  I hope yours has been a great one.

                  Lovely write, my dancing days are over but the music lingers on.

                  • Frank Prem

                    The thought sometimes substitutes adequately for the deed, GF.

                    Cheers.
