Theme: Alone

Dancing Alone

stars no longer shine in our eyes
but their dust glimmers in the
fragmented memory of a past
preciously secreted in our bosoms

those notes made discordant by
the broken string of another’s guitar
played out in the theatre of our hearts...
but we have learned not to let them jar
the timeless melody we composed
over the years, chord by trilling chord

whirling alone, like a dervish drunk
on spiritual wine, yet stepping in unison
we stay true to that one song
we have promised to keep dancing to
