Ephemeral motes dancing in the light
That poured from the window onto the grand piano.
And as I watched, I heard music;
Lovely, angelic music that stirred my soul.
Emotions bubbled at my core,
They urged me to dance.
The music, my dance partner,
My emotions moving me along with the notes.
I closed my eyes and let go, letting it all wash over me.
It caressed me and held me up,
Guiding me through spins and arabesques.
I rose and fell along with the crescendos and decrescendos.
It felt like time had frozen still,
But I was content and did not wish it to resume.
It was heavenly, those moments,
So majestic and beautiful,
That I lost myself in it.
It ended all too soon, and I came back to earth.
And as I peered into what was now darkness,
I realized a part of me was gone.
It was still with the ephemeral motes dancing in the light
That poured from the window onto the grand piano.
Inspired by the imagery in the first line, the image popped into my head along with the 1st line, so the rest just came after that. Its one of my favorite poems that I've written. I'm happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoyed it, comments and critiques are much appreciated as always. Thanks!
