As we are born
Does a band start
Playing
A soft melody
To serenade us
As we slowly age
Do those we love
Take our spirits hands
And slowly dance
When we embrace
Love
Does the band
Play faster
As we twirl
Spiritually
As deep secrets
Are unfurled
Does it slow
To a whisper
As we are betrayed
Stranded
Partnerless
And emotionally waylaid
But still
Does it play
Maybe a low melodic
Hum
Maybe a single
Beat of a drum
But still it plays
Regardless of how
Your life
Seems to never run
And dark days seems
Bereft of fun
Is
The ethereal music
Simply waiting in
The shadows
Beyond earthly eyes
And ears
Waiting once
Again
To
Play loud
To watch two
Lonely spirits
Take the floor
And slow dance
To its famous tune
Of
Est-ce l'Amour
(Is this Love)
A melody to
Seranade us
Into the dark
Before we cross
Over
And enter
A brand new park
