The wind blew through the trees like laughter come un-done, <br />You picked me up and brought me out into the blazing sun. <br />I felt the heat and began to dance to express that I felt free, <br />You followed me and kept the beat with your hands and then joined me. <br />We danced far into the night even though the wind chilled us so, <br />It soon became clear to me that what I saw in you touched my soul. <br />I peered into your deepening eyes and felt like I was in a trance, <br />I then felt that I'd fallen in love and I did not want to stop this dance. <br />This dance, this wonderful dance, this wonderful spirit lifting dance..... <br /> <br />(6/10/08)<br /><br />Allison Hankins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-dance/
