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 …

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
Cheers Brian. I'm delighted you enjoyed this little dance. Thank you.
Good write Frank.
Thanks O. Take your partner!
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!

...and the music played on !!
Great write Frank! It certainly has touched a few chords!
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!
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.
The thought sometimes substitutes adequately for the deed, GF.
Cheers.
