“Shall We Dance”

“Shall We Dance”

cji

6/20/12

The music is playing

wildly men/women

moving about quickly

seemingly in beat

yet hard to tell if so

so far I’ve had to go

humid and torrid heat

smoke filling air thickly

slowly men/women

the air quietly swaying;

Shall we dance alone

there under the stars

lonely feeling so cold

yet now seeming bold

long years and scars

far away from a home;

Soldiers and the nights

between the combat

cruel and vicious war

without cares of want

death now to taunt

seeking the cold hoar

slapping at the gnat

soldiers and the lights!
