Captivated by the music
I enjoyed a happy space
Graced by the presence of her
I still felt alone but comfortable
My brother gave me a great word
I felt peace
It all seemed to coincide
at this moment
When I Iooked out at the water
I didn’t know where
one wave ended
and one began
On a ride against the tide
I felt an ocean of emotions
I searched across the water
feeling the beat
searching for my place in all this
I was just as confused
and jumbled
as the partygoers dancing madly
Entering each other’s spaces
and leaving just as quickly
I felt the urge to dance
and put down my pen
I took my lady by the hand
and said, “Let’s dance”
I will be eternally grateful
that I didn’t sit it out
