Writing to me is a lot like dancing

A poem dedicated to the art of writing as a dance

Writing to me is a lot like dancing.

Every word is a note in the rhythm of my heart,

when I am writing about something I love,

it's like dancing with my eyes closed.

I get lost in it, I get lost in it.

It's inevitable -- sometimes I stumble;

sometimes, my timing is all wrong,

yet, I just laugh at my blunders and

get right back to it, get right back to it.

What I'm saying -- my dearest words ---

you are great dance partners,

I will never stop dancing with you,

I will never stop dancing with you.
