Begin the Dance Uncertain

Begin the Dance Uncertain

Green eyes are you there amongst the leave
Well hidden now is your aching hurt
You know feelings at play, can deceive
And still for love you are on high alert

What slender thread can bind the ties
Hold firm your heart as anchor at high tide
Can safely slip back, to hide a lovers lies
Or will natures spirit find time to guide

Was your youth given or stolen this time
Hand in another’s hand out to meet your task
Characters set in motion now within the mime
Conductor of thought no, not captured in mask

Grateful are all who find a peaceful wheel
Sure of our travel on a lover’s fair wind
Both softly yielding to touch and, or feel
Adrift the squall now becalmed and sinned

Enrapture in a moment as if to try and harm
A glance sideways can such arousal cause
Fearless and ongoing is you’re hearts charm
Affected not you’re mind with time to pause

Can we now say yes, we’ve found love true
No creaking sound of failure in this space
Now emerald are the eyes no hint of being blue
Begins a dance uncertain, still powerful in grace
