We Danced

We were dancing through different rooms

Me in yours

Yours in mine.

Rhythms knotted as your gaze danced on the top of my head

Laughter and sometimes tears

You would tap your toes into rooms first and twirl through the corners

Through the tempos you weaved yourself through the music

And when your eyes would catch mine you would call me

To join the dance.

We danced through the darkness through the light

We danced through the showers of sunlight and rays of rain

We danced through all the rooms and then we would start again

We danced.

Until you stopped.

Right in front of a wooden door carved with songs of praise

Your praise.

You twisted the knob and went through, dancing.

Dancing in a room I am too scared to enter

Dancing in a room I no longer fear being summoned to

Because I know the songs, I know the moves

And finally I’ll be able to dance with you.
