The Dance

I venture on as the sun sinks low
Steps quick and light as I near home
The lights in the distance call to me
As night envelopes all I see

Off in the distance a beating drum
Matches the rythym of my own heart
There in a meadow the dance has begun
I feel so near yet so far apart

My friend my journey has been long
But thoughts of you have kept me strong
I've joined the dance, my journey is through
I've found my way, for the love of you

Deep in the darkest mist of night
Spirits of earth take full flight
There I dance in the pale moonlight
Free as the spirits, one with the night
