Analysis of Moonlight Dancer



I swing my arms, so happy,
flowing in the rhythm of your joy.
the peace invades my mind,
I believe now is the time.

I slide into the center of the ring,
with natural grace I swing.
To flow from one form to another,
to dance with the joy of a lover.

I swing through this mindless fray,
keeping sorrow and pain at bay.
laughing I waltz through the walkways of time,
contended swinging in the motion of life.

I watch you looking at me dance,
swaying in the rhythm's trance.
Taking your hand I sway with you,
Lifting you high, loving you.

This dance of lives is meant for two,
dance with me, this is what we are meant to do.
swaying with me, letting me hold on to you,
Elegance in life be true.
