A Dance with my Wife

I want to dance with you under
the warmth of a summer moon

to watch the drifting musical notes land
in your hair like bubbles and wink like fairy lights

to feel the grace of your cheek
against my neck
your delicate hand in mine

I've been here before
with you a hundred times
but each turn is new

your face is always so clear and beautiful
against backdrops of pale colors
others sharing our floor

the silver hours spin out before us
and the song never ends

and you twirl ...
