Wandering...

"After wandering along the lane for two hours, giving way to every variety of thought, re-considering events, determining probabilities, and reconciling herself, as well as she could, to a change so sudden and so important, fatigue, and a recollection of her long absence made her at length return home; and she entered the house with the wish of appearing cheerful as usual, and the resolution of repressing such reflections as must make her unfit for conversation."

--Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

The road ahead

It is there before you; and though
you don't know where it's leading,
you will follow as it winds along
past all that is familiar
to all that is unknown.
It is a journey full of promise,
and of this you can be certain:
you won't be traveling alone.

Hilltop

To the top of the hill
we'll climb, hand in hand:
then stand to look down
at the beauty below.
And we'll know then
that never had there been
such a day as this one;
nor would there ever be again.

Mad...

"Those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music."

Dancing

"Dancing is the poetry of the foot."

--John Dryden

This dance

Will you dance with me?
I'll sing a song,
and you' ll sing, too.
Oh, won't it be nice
to dance beneath stars,
your hand holding mine?
The glow of the moon
will show us the way,
and we'll follow the music
until night disappears.

Slumber

Tonight how sweet it is to feel the peace
of drowsy-lidded sleep as it draws near!
My heart is singing lullabies; and
my angel will keep watch over my dreams
until the gentle dawn awakens me to
all the promise of the morning light.
