To Dance

Humming softly, I spin on my toe

the music numbs me.

It numbs me, unlike the fragrant snow,

which chills me, not letting me go.

Not letting me go, not letting me slip

into a dark abyss

bringing a slight tremble to my lip,

masking the sharp dismal hiss.

The hiss; piercing my ears

tearing me apart, your voice.

Surmounting all my fears

I make the reckless choice.

The choice, to dance.

To dance, amidst the heartless frost

Until awakened from my trance,

and until each memory be lost.
