“Let Us Dance”

Let us dance
to heal together,
to forget the wounds of love,
the loneliness of faded passion,
to forge a new union
that embraces both our pain and our joy.

Let us walk into the dancehall tonight.
Your fingers run through my hair.
I’ll play your favorite song.
Every beat becomes a new vow.
Every touch against your skin
sings the love we cannot hide.
Every line, every word, every chord
celebrates the miracle of us.
The saxophone sees you
and plays your favorite rhythm.
May this dance fill our hearts tonight.

Our shadows shall pass.
Every tender touch
binds our lips as one.
Let the music move through our bodies,
let the song set us free,
the rhythm of a single heartbeat
may knit two souls into one.
