The View from Here

I dream of waltzes,

Gilded mirrors

Reflecting a sea of swirling dancers. 

An orchestra,

Haunting melodies in three quarter time. 

I dream of another era,

Ball gowns and candlelight,

Chivalry and champagne. 

Your arms holding me close

As we become one with the music,

Dancing into the night,

A flight of fancy,

Hoping the dream never ends.
