I read THE DANCE during the after party at the writer’s group
THE DANCE
Tears
have fallen for
the presence of a large band
moving every heart in the room.Hearts have fallen too.
Long flowing gowns
and beautiful hair
accentuate
the rhythm and rhyme of three four time.Sharpness is a well-dressed man
firmly leading his partner to the depth of herself.A sight to behold.
The display may linger—
Forever.Enlightened by crystal chandeliers,
captivated by eyes
speaking in a whirl of emotion.The call of leather.
The scent of a woman.A playground for the soul.

DROPLETS
Her eyes glinted as sunlight played upon blades of grass.
Dewdrops’ faces reflected rainbows.
Expressions; like points of crystals
Reaching from deep within.Her hair moved gently as breeze led the dance.
Dew drops let go of their delicate hold.
Like a tear’s joyful journey washing away
Flowing from deep within.She smiled as rainbows touched her heart.
Droplets let go of their delicate hold.
Like dew drops with faces;
Reflecting from deep within.She blinked as if waking from a dream.
Ink flowed from her pen
Like a journey of beginnings in the palm of her hand.

TALL PINE
Upon her crystal shores… waves of shimmering light.
Part of a larger symphony near water’s edge.
Under tall pine a leaf gently spirals to the ground.
A small note… unheard by most. A piece of that song.A myriad of light from so far away… but really not so far.
A glimmer highlights the base of tall pine.
Blending with the fallen leaf’s song.
A neighbor’s melody of change.A different forest. A new time.
Within the sounds… a symphony.
Within the rhythm… a remembrance.
A note heard by those who choose to listen.Touched by a myriad of lights.
Reflecting upon a small leaf.
Sounds blending under tall pine.
Dancing around a tree… upon crystal shores.Copyright David Hoffmann © 2008 – All Rights Reserved
