Storytime with Rachel F Hundred

---

In my head I hear the music,

In my heart I feel the beat.

And soon my soul is singing

Whilst my body feels the heat.

I wrap my arms around you,

Will your heart belong to me?

The dance that we’re beginning

Has always been our destiny.

We move together slowly,

We advance and then retreat.

I can feel your heart is pounding

An unsteady racing beat.

Our bodies soon become slick,

Our hands reach out to grip,

As the rhythm takes us over

Our defenses fall and slip.

Soon there is no thought involved,

The dance becomes our all.

As the music becomes crescendo

We can just enjoy the fall.

But now the dance is over,

We may turn and walk away.

And know the music’s written

To dance again some day.
