	The Dance

_The Dance_

An eternity ago, or so that it seems

_God had sent you to me_

_Two wandering souls _

_That love had turned its back on_

_And kindness had betrayed_

_That evil had devoured_

_And emptiness had remained—_

_A short eternity ago_

_God gave us a chance_

_To have the time to love_

_And to grow_

_And to feast_

_And to dance_

_Dance in a divine ballroom_

_Of love and simplicity_

_Of kindness and wealth_

_Of sacrifice and giving_

_Courage_

_And humility_

_The music was so heavenly_

_And possessed a rhythm of life_

_Rhythm of health_

_The music's tempo_

_Become a rhythm of an evil symphony_

_And the dance had quickly become_

_A masquerade—_

_Of characters and costumes_

_And charades_

_Remove the mask _

_Sweet dancer_

_And let me see the face that_

_I loved—_

_The man that I entered the room with_

_So proudly_

_My beloved_

_Dance to the same rhythm_

_Once again_

_Be and instrument of love_

_And unity-_

_Sweet sweet melodies_

_Like the violin_

_Ballroom dancer_

_Gentleman and nobleman_

_Handsome_

_And fearsome_

_You were the best symphony_

_For a time_

_Even a short eternity_
