3/4 time the music swirled
unfurled and rolled along
while life just twisted, doubled, curled
and sang its starry song.

Pastiche, panoramas, plans
click by like slides before
the slumbering spirits too drunk on draughts
of dreamy days of yore…

and nights of normal life, assumed,
taken as granted and gifted
while life just twisted, doubled, curled
and sang its white swan song.

Waltz time strains echoing through
A life time of refrains
But Joy endures with compass True
To dance, to love, Sustain.
