Dance

As leaves turn gold and give in to gravity

Remember the kiss of that new rose on your palm.

As your heart quivers, struggles beating through the snow

Remember the stardust you are made of, and love.

As scenes change around you, the silence pierces and applause isn't a cure

Remember that after you walked in, few lives were never the same.

As you get back there, where you belong

Remember the stage is still yours, so is the song.

As it runs through your veins, that rush of adrenaline

Remember no step is too difficult to pause your dance.
