The Final Dance

Twist and turn
sit and learn
as we are surrounded by
an era
thought long gone
but we were wrong
and as skirts twirl
and boots stomp
we begin this ruckus
this romp
with no alcohol
but plenty of poundcake and puppy chow to share

and so we are happily there
and quickly dance
and glide
even the electric slide
what a wonderful night is this
with a good friend
to dance
in joyous bliss

and just to see
people be
exactly who they are
to laugh at their mistakes
to break dance
where there is none
prewrit but to go off script

yes, to live is this
to be yourself and trust
that everything is just

that is just in the way of being right for you
though not "right" in how you think
and when you are on the brink of falling forward
or behind
thats when you find
his guiding hand
leading in you
in the dance of a lifetime.
