Woodland Dance Poem by Robin Bennett

You love when I
dance free in the grass-
Stage set,
audience of one
a backdropp of trees
Unbridled
free to twirl and spin
Like the earth-
constantly moving

Gravity takes hold
yet my spirit soars-
Pausing
to catch me if I fall
Unlike my dreams
that cascaded from the sky

Evening saunters into obscurity-
Your eyes ask if
we can spend the night
Two souls shaded by trees
Basking beneath grateful stars-
Abandonment cast in dark silence

I answer yes, just keep me safe.
