Her Dance

One step forward,
Two steps back,
holding her hand gently,
Grace and beauty, she does not lack.

Side step once,
side step twice,
pausing briefly,
side step thrice.

The smile spreads,
the laughter rings,
the music continues,
what a song she sings.

Tall and proud,
arond the floor,
he whisks her away,
and returns her once more.

He is strong and sure,
his movements swift,
one and two step,
then a soft kiss.

She spins away,
her eyes full of light,
her hair shining with copper tones,
into the dark magic night.

Faster the steps approach,
one by one they continue,
day is dawning now,
the sun makes the sky a lighter hue.

He pulls her in close,
as the dance goes on,
the musicians of night,
release them to day's song.
