Dancing In The Dark

Bells hum like diamonds
Whistling in the breeze
A pause
Thoughtful gaze skims flocks of circling seagulls
Spiralling in the wind
Long grass rustling in tune
To thrumming hearts
Sun hidden beneath mischievous cloud cover
Pressure builds
Until drops of moonlight squeeze
Glistening like ink in the reflective dew
Leaving footprints in damp grass
Pure freedom swirling in the wind
like veils of white chiffon
Exhilarated twirling and
Dancing in the dark
