Dancers

The music plays as the years roll back
And the dancers sway to the beat
Eyes seeing not nowadays
But of days from distant past

Years disappear from faces old
And their bodies younger become
The feet they move where rhythm leads
Across the dance room floor

Faces glowing, hair flying
Bodies move with the beat
Forgotten are the aches and pains
The joints so stiff with years

The more you look, the more you see
The years have drifted back
Left is youth, vitality
The soul shines from within

About this poem:
Went out for dinner on Thursday and watched a live band. A group of old (50's and 60's) rock n rollers took the floor and you could see the years disapearing and they actually started to look younger.

Yes Dance can make the years slip away and
tranform us to our youth as most would like
to do...and we often must pay for this the
next morning as already mentioned by other
astute commentators...lol.angel thumbs up dancing
