Dance With Me

A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)

Dance With Me

I want to move something magical
A beat with a strong flow
A void the needs to grow
A shape shifting that starts slow

Let me breathe this beat one more time
Start a poem with a blank line
Move to this beat without a sign
Dance this dance with the finest wine

To move in time with this dance
The rhythm moves you with every chance
Take time for second plans
I will show you if you give me your hands

Let my music dance your beat
Listen to the rhythm of the street
The sweat is sugary sweet
To dance in this heat

Take time to sing with me
Sing this song and dance my harmony
The magic is here if you can only see
So come on baby, and dance with me
