Shall we dance? Shall we sing?
Shall we love? Shall we fly?
Shall we join our hands together,
Look each other in the eye,
Say
I am going to love you
‘Til the moment that I die?
(Yeah, are you going to love me
‘Til the moment that I die?)
"Why
My
Daily sunny sky,
See some clouds full of rain
That won't just pass us by."
(Yeah, there're clouds full of rain
That won't just pass us by.
But we'll dance, and we'll sing,
And we'll love, and we'll fly.
And we'll race above the land
Until we find us somewhere dry.)
Race above the land
Until we find us somewhere dry...
"Can't
Fly
With lightning in the sky.
The thunder and the wind
Won't let us go very high."
(Nah, the thunder and the wind
Couldn't stop us if they tried.)
"We should walk."
(We should run.
We should jump.)
"We should hide.
Wait until the weather calms
Before we start to fly."
(Only if you catch me
As I race across the sky.)
"You know I cannot chase you
If you race across the sky."
Lightning streaked above me,
And a tear escaped my eye.
I leapt up and I caught her
As she fell down from the sky.
(Shall we dance…?
Shall we sing…?
Shall we love...?)
Shall we cry?
(We shall join our hands together,
Look each other in the eye, say –)
"I am going to love you
‘Til the moment that I die."
(And I am going to love you
‘Til the moment that I die.)
And we danced.
And we sang.
And we loved.
And I cried.
And still I try to catch her
As she races through the sky.
I am going to love her
'Til the moment that I die.

Very entertaining. So different you kind of stepped put of the mainstream and indeed it was yours. Your skill shows in so many ways. This work flows so well. Great work.

I simply HAD to bookmark this. The rhyme is not forced, the flow is unrestrained. It was long, but not boring. There was repetition, but it was not dull. I love the last two stanzas, and especially the last two lines. Like a well-written song I will sing over and over again. Thank you for this wonderful, wonderful share.

Beautiful. really beautiful. the flow and rhythm was awesome... one of the few long poems that have really captivated me from start to finish... flawless

Beautiful
I can't stop reading this poem...I keep coming back to it over and over again. I'm finding that it gains more meaning each time I read it, moves me just a little bit more. The first time, I took in the basics: the rhythm and rhyme. The second time, I was able to absorb the division of voice, to take in the message. The emotion, the realization of the outcome...they made me cry. And even if I don't cry any more, I still feel just as moved now as I did that second time.

I freaking the love the rythym of this one

I absolutely loved it. It was so simple yet so just....awesome.
