Dance Me Soft and Tall






A floating strain of music
Plucked gently at my feet 
And moving I could feel it
In my spirit find a seat

Lofty and melodic
It shuddered through my bone
Living in my veins until
It's purpose became known

To animate my body
Seize it like a doll
Electrify my soul until
I'm dancing soft and tall

The first time I could feel it
Enchanted in it's thrall
Loud and free I sang to you
Dance me soft and tall

Brief it stayed, then fled me
Content to break the wall
The spark expired and left me tired
Standing soft and tall
