The Ever So Gentle Enchantment

Exquisite as a masterpiece Composed in Mozart's mind... Piano playing meant to please Made everything refined. The dancer shone amidst the light That crowned her noble brow And all at once her form took flight And beauty took a bow. The noble creature soared above The realm of common man. As if her heart now filled with love, Across the stage she ran. Dramatic power which enchants, God's wonder to install, Drew rapt attention to her dance And mesmerised us all. Her smiles to us were borne of joy, Serenity to share. As if she set out to destroy Each sorrow, ache or care. Somehow she blossomed like a rose That each would gladly kiss. The dancer's name God only knows And yet she brought such bliss. God bless her, please, for memories That nevermore will part - For she was like a gentle breeze That nestled in my heart. I'll not forget the tenderness Her dance has brought to me! She filled my soul with happiness! She set my spirit free! Denis Martindale, copyright October 2005
