A purposeful waltz,
nice and slow.
A zealous, fiery
and daring tango.
As life's moments,
take away my breath.
I await and relish
every tempting step.
Death my infamous,
faceless friend.
You shall chase my
shadow till the end.
I will always remain
one step ahead,
leaving you with my
dancing shadow instead.
I live every moment
of every day,
to my beating heart,
my body sways.
I proudly face,
the morning sun.
To the moon i howl,
when the day is done.
I laugh as Death,
over my shoulder glances.
Threatened as my shadow,
forever dances.
"I promise my friend,
do not fret so.
When Im done living
I will let you know.
"But still many moments,
are left to taste.
Can't let the music
go to waste.
So dance with me
and live for a while.
Chase my shadow
another time..."
Please tell me what you think

Haha..you got me thinking about Joe Black... Good flow again.. Everything simply falls into place.. And tell you wat.. whenever you talk about dancing..there's always this deja vu.. like i've read the same thing before.. Maybe you should try a different perspective on dancing.. It isn't always abt "waltzing" with or without purpose! Rock on again!
