Dancing together is Divine.

Slow Dance With You.

by Barry Penfold

My day is full of decisions
And in fixing divisions
They say I have limited time 
To get everyone in line.
 
Crazy things are said
and worse things are read
Is there any reason anymore?
There is madness at my door.
 
But when I am home with you
There is nothing more beautiful
Than for me to subdue
and slow dance with you.
 
As far as dancing goes
I am the one to stand on your toes
But you never complain
About your obvious pain.
 
While the world takes a turn
And many wish it to burn 
I follow your view
and slow dance with you.
 
Reality is our wake up call
And despite us having to leave the ball
It is all okay to feel a little blue
Because I can come back and slow dance with you.

There is something magical about dancing. Especially when it is slow. It makes the world so much better.
