She Danced To Love

poem by: Maria Williams
Written on Feb 20, 2017

She danced with wild abandon, she danced without a care
With sun kissed skin and arms flung wide
Wild flowers in her hair
I chanced upon this secret glade while walking early morn
A sacred aura surrounded it, a jewel in the dawn
A type of place where Angels dwell
A place of Hopes and Dreams
A magical place of lush green plants and sparkling  bubbly streams

I drew back lest she saw me
I dared not break the spell
The Autumn leaves swirled all around her, and to the ground they fell
Like  homage to a Goddess, that she must surely be
For Gods to but gaze on, not mortals such as me
So fast was she as she whirled around, I could scarcely see her feet
 But even though I stood afar, I knew she gave off heat
And then her tempo slowed right down, the air became quite chill
The Elements were but her slaves, she ordered them at will

I could have watched forever, so mesmerised was I
What would I give to dance with you I murmured with a sigh
To dance with wild abandon with this Angel from above 
A hundred birds would sing out loud to watch us Dance to Love.

Marvellous poem with an energy of its own; flowing, with rhyth and rhyme, and a tempo that reflects the narrative and imagery. Delightful!
Maria Williams commented:
Thank you so much Martin for you lovely comments. The fact that this poem gave you goose bumps makes me happy because it took you to that place that I visualized. Lol, we have the same surname .
Maria Williams commented:
Thank you so much Geoffrey, I love your poems, so coming from you this is a feather in my cap.Its a little bit different to my usual style, I tend to write about real life situations, so sometimes reaches epic proportions, but hope to work on cutting some of it down and submitting .
