She sends me photographs
She writes on the back
The date and a short description
I send her paper hearts
And orphan thoughts
The world never paid attention
We danced to a tune we didn’t know
With eyes like a prophecy and I
Could never have seen the way we’d go
But I would have danced it anyway
She tells me she never wants to leave
I promise to take her by my side
Regardless of things we couldn’t see
I would have danced it anyway
We separate a place
Where we can be safe
Away from our own devices
We went too far to turn
With little concern
For all of these strange surprised
We danced to a tune we didn’t know
With eyes like a prophecy and I
Could never have seen the way we’d go
But I would have danced it anyway
She tells me she never wants to leave
I promise to take her by my side
Regardless of things we couldn’t see
I would have danced it anyway

Wonderful, to dance anyway, so important. I love this, it reminds me of a song that always brings me nearly to tears. Tears of sweet memories that is 🙂
It wouldn’t be a Garth Brooks song would it? Because I swear that one made me cry the last time I heard it 🙂
Lol Lee Ann Womack actually “I Hope You Dance” 🙂
Oh I had forgotten that song. So beautiful. Last time I heard it I was at a wedding and it was played before the father/bride dance and it made all the parents cry. So beautiful 🙂
This is so sweet. It is amazing that I can relate to so many of your poems. You write so well! I love this!
Thank you, ma’am. I’m very thankfully you are devoted and keep reading my work. It means a lot to me 🙂
I adore your writing it helps me feel so many times like there is someone else who understands. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your heart ❤
Of course and you are welcome ❤
I keep rereading this! So awesome. I just thought you should know
😉 Thank you Lydia. That is a great honor
….I would have danced it anyway…what a beauty..yes the never dying giving up spirit sings and dances to every tune on or off the beat…..loved the image 🙂
Thank you so much. Every dance is unique and timeless. Thank you for stopping by 🙂
This is totally wonderful and I would have danced, too 🙂 I also love what you’ve done with the photo, I like black and white and it’s just a look that is very super!! You are a superstar, Ms. VW 🙂
You are too kind to me. My photos are much like my thoughts–something beautiful underneath but obscured by distortion and flaws. Thank you for your encouragement! It is special to me
this photo seems so familiar… like its me…..very odd feeling I have when looking at it. It’s like an old photo I used to have of myself that I lost, but i’m sure someone else has the image now.
Hmmmm…mysterious
I have not seen the person in this image for a long time, and do not know if they yet hold me in remembrance but perhaps you would know…
In any case, my images are wishes and spells, whispered and spoke into an endless void from which no sound seems to be heard. Yet still I give because I wish it to be so. Because I still love
I still love too that is for sure….
even if this is a photo from the past that I lost…quite intrigueing still none the less.
Beautiful reconstuction
Sweet abandon.
“I would have danced it anyway” My favourite line. Each time it recurred I fell in love with it all over again. A truly wonderful line. I would probably not have resisted the temptation to use it as the title. But I think not doing so is actually a good decision.
Thank you, Ben 🙂
I love this, we all dance forward into the unknown!
Indeed we do
This is a new favorite. Thank you. ❤
You’re welcome. Thank you for coming by
I feel the concern, I feel the care, I feel the deepest love from this poem… and it moves me to dance with the tunes of endless unknown….
Thank you for dancing here. You are always welcomed to dance within this realm…at your own risk of course 🙂 I appreciate you sharing the experience, my friend!
wonderful.this is moving and dancing on it’s own.well done my friend 🙂
Thank you kindly sir
“I would have danced it anyway….” Love this line, love the poem!! 🙂
Thank you Betty. The dance is unforgettable
I know just what you mean, VW…. and I would’ve danced it anyway too. (I think your poem would make a beautiful song….)
I wrote it as a song, so I’m thankful you feel that way. Maybe one day I will make it official 🙂
This starts off so strong and just continues on so beautifully. Such a nice tender love poem!
I appreciate the encouragement 🙂
I LOVE this poem, so sweet!
Wow thank you! I appreciate you stopping by!
