The Silent Dance

Bathing in the moonlight's glow
Danced a maiden, soft and slow.
Tender notes, none else could hear
Seemed to reach the maiden's ear.

A gentle smile upon her lips
She stroked the air with fingertips.
What made her dance, what made her smile?
What made the moonlight worth her while?

The answer only she did know
In the moonlight's softened glow.
And with her the answer stays
While she gently moves and sways...

About this poem:
I wrote this 2010 for a character I played in an MMORPG, as a sort of explanation for her name :)

Thank you so very much, all of you, for the kind words and the warm welcome teddybear

And I will try do that socrates44, thank you heaps for explaining that editing is possible ^_^

The MMORPG was(is) Lord of the Rings, so the silent music refers to the music Eru let the Ainur play, before he took it and formed the world from it. To me personally one of the most beautiful creation stories I have come across, and the maiden therefore dances to the notes that make up Ea, the universe :)

Thank you beautifulyou for the welcome and the kind comment ^^ and the same heartfelt thank you to you too, ladyjewel *smiles warmest smile* I love to dance and Tolkien's creation story has touched me very deeply, the way how he has incorporated music as lying at the foundation of the world ^^
