A poem: Torn


A relentless virus
And clueless leaders
Tried to tear our passion away
But the music plays on
And our restless bodies
Can’t resist the beat and sway
We’ve shed some tears
Over friends we miss
And partners held too long at bay
But our fire burns strong
And we will live on
To dance together another day

  2. The first time I read "clueless leaders", I thought you were referring to bad experiences on the pista. Unfortunately, no: in the real world.

    1. Haha! Yes, I meant political leaders who make allowances for just about every activity and business except dance!
