The music of our silent stepping feet
Washes all my problems away.
The stars look down with approving eyes.
Oh, if only there was a way we could stay.

Twirling and spinning side by side,
There is no place I'd rather be
Than here in the woods at midnight,
Shadow dancing with thee.

I'm not exactly sure where this came from. I'd heard written the phrase 'shadow dancing' in another piece and it struck me as something that could stand alone. This is what I came up with.

Guess who? Do you even remember me? (; It's been all too long! I hope that you are doing well and enjoying your summer. I've been totally busy lately, but I haven't forgotten you! As always, your work is great and it's quite refreshing to read something new from you. We really should talk more often. I really enjoyed the title, it's just nice, and it just seeps into the soul. The picture seeps into the poem and into the mind and into the heart and I really appreciate everything just the way it is. The simplicity makes it all the more nice. The flow is really beautiful and the words are even more so. This is my absolute favorite poem by you. I'm glad this just 'struck' you as the poem has 'struck' me too and I love it. Lovely poem, beautiful words, soft rhythm, perfect. :-)
