Can I tell you a secret
of how it used to be
when I was just a young girl
like you?
I used to feel freedom.
I used to float so free
and I would captivate
all who came to view.
My spirit would soar up high
surpassing the limits of the vast sky.
O this was freedom, this was freedom
at its best!
And when at last I would settle to ground
applause would roar with a thunderous sound
and my heart would almost burst inside my chest.
Now my body is old and frail
and I am confined to this chair
but thinking of those days still makes me smile.
And watching you now in that light
makes everything all right.
I know that every second was worthwhile.
You see, I used to be a dancer.

I love this. I spent my fair amount of time on disco floors in the 80's & 90's dancing to rock, disco, and funk. I loved the feel of being light on my feet, agile, and the euphoria of a great aerobic work out.

I don't know why, but I got an image of a grandmother talking to her grandchild, relating her memories. This write truly touches my sentimental side. Well writ my friend.

Michael, this took me on an emotional journey of memory and sharing which told a tale of a life well lived. You really have a gift with storytelling, my friend. This is an exceptional poem.
