Come dance with me <br />in the wind and the weather <br />holding fast <br />we tumble through heather <br />purple, gold, opal, white, <br />new discovered <br />by dawn's fresh light. <br />Come laugh with me <br />til breath is scant <br />our cheeks blood red <br />with merriment. <br />Eyes aglow, mischief bright <br />the other's joy <br />brings each delight. <br /> <br />Answer to Lenchen by Hawk: <br /> <br />To my true kindred spirit: <br /> <br /> I will dance with you <br />in the wind and the weather, <br />holding you tight as we tumble through heather. <br />May the dance last forever, <br />and may time be abolished <br />could I say something clever <br />so all doubts be demolished? <br />I will laugh without rest <br />'til my lungs are screaming <br />will consider it best <br />to be trusting and dreaming. <br />Eyes aglow with a shimmer, <br />like the children we are, <br />as we dance in the glimmer <br />of the morning - not far. <br />As I hold your sweet hand <br />and look into your eyes, <br />as we dance through the land, <br />as we watch the sun rise. <br />Now I know what I've missed <br />'cause it did not ring true: <br />As children we've kissed <br />and this child loves you. <br />And wherever you go <br />when your heart wants to smile, <br />I will never say 'NO' <br />to the very last mile.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-my-hawk-and-playmate-to-my-true-kindred-spir/
