This Spiral Dance

i am a dancer alone
i twist and twirl away
YOUR smile is music
my heart IT will play.
i am spinning alone
i am going too fast
dancing in the darkness
of this shadow i cast.

i have seen YOUR smile
casting ITS warm light
i am drawn to IT
a moth from the night.

a slow and stately dance
closer and closer by inches
circling YOUR lights edge
hoping for entrance.

i am a dancer alone
i long for a chance
YOUR light to embrace
the end of this spiral dance.
