Dance With Me

Dance with me he asked 

I hesitantly accepted his hand 

His hand is large

And holds mine firmly and gently 

Respectfully he leads me to the dance floor 

I feel the eyes of others on me. . . with him 

He knows what I feel

So he invites me again 

Dance with me…

I accept 

I am not completely sure why

But there is a sense of safety

And adventure

That draws me 

As we begin to sway to the music 

He holds me firmly and gently 

My self-consciousness slowly begins to wash away

I feel like I did as a little girl 

Chosen, special and cherished

Dancing with my feet on my father’s shoes

The object of his delight

He leads and I follow

I instinctively know this is how it should be

I sense the storm of circumstances

That I felt before he asked me to dance

He shifts a little

To recapture my attention

I sense reassuringly

There will be enough time for that later

Holding me firmly but gently

I am back with him 

Completely

I let myself sync with the rhythm 

With the music

With him 

Fears I was not even conscious of 

Begin to melt away

The longer we dance

The deeper his love pours into me

His love and fear

Cannot occupy the same space

The rhythm of his love realigns me 

From fear 

To faith

To hope

Dance with me. . .

Always. . .
