The Year of the Dancer

Starting the year 
already half-emerged,

a return to bodily form

reviving past joys –

music, dancing, friendships,

...and seducing my 
long term silver mate.

This year will be sweeter still,

moving closer to the softer centre of my heart,

uncompromised by others,

by what they expect – or want 
from me.

But one more wish -
a resolution - 
to have time to waste,

to while away...
