A Yellow Rose: The Waltz

A Yellow Rose: The Waltz

In two stepping unison two dancers took flight
like one feather floating across the floor light
they began a twirling that continued in round
of motion and movement to the musical sound.

In circles upon circles spinning elegance and grace
matching and meeting the songs melody and pace
with a twist they reversed their dancing flow
never missing a beat as the crowd sounded, "Oh!"

Clapping sprang forth from such a bold move
as these two danced with perfect paced shoes
spinning, twisting and turning in their dance
a flickering flame sparked in eyes of romance.

These two sailed over a sea of hard wood
sprinkled saw dust 'a foot's' aid to be fluid
under soles of souls in musical motions flow
a waltz with a lady, the lovely Yellow Rose.

The piano man slipped in some double time beats
the pace soon quickened in new sounds, unique
the same song become faster as the dancers rallied
a different step stepped across the floors valley.

Something was strange but yet the same
the dancers spun together in tightly held frames
the lady spun outward then spun back in
held by a gentleman wearing a hat size grin.

Both bolted apart then circled one another
together they clashed in soft body flutters
twisting to the sounds the the piano man strewn
waltzing was a Gentleman and A Yellow Rose.
