Will you dance with me?

To give you a quick idea about the story behind the poem, I recently read a book called A woman’s Heart That Dances. It was very inspirational. I have been mulling over the idea of a poem since I finished and I finally put it into words. Hope you like it!

 

Music swells as if by chance.

A rhythm so inviting.

Mysterious is such melodies that draw me to the dance.

As sure as the sun my mind has been made.

This overture I will evade.

 

Unworthy am I who hears this call.

I am not who you desire.

I am not adorned with diamonds or pearls.

Nor have I dancing shoes.

I am not clothed in riches of this world.

Nor know the steps to waltz with you.

I have no graceful moves.

What have I to offer?

 

Once again the music swells.

I begin to see.

All the world has faded.

It’s just you and me.

The symphony crescendos.

I hear a soft still whisper,

“You’re more then jewels to me!”

“You’re what I desire!”

 

Before me stands a gift.

Beauty like I’ve never known.

Jewels so rare and glistening.

The most elegant gown I’ve ever seen.

Shoes that sparkle like the nightly seas.

A note that says ‘Made For Me’

 

Softly spoken,

I hear my name.

You’re asking me to dance.

I do not know the steps but I concede.

I hear, “Lean in and I will lead.”
