Amidst twirling dresses of dazzling silk,
A glimpse of tender grace flickers through frenzy,
A priceless smile swept away in merriment,
To be pondered wondrously as motions flow,
And drift and spin and circle another,
A union of unions floating past stars aligned,

Our worlds collide in glorious sparks,
Reality's gift of pure ecstasy,
Treasured moments with touch you feel,
Whizzing by in delightful zeal,

But fortune fading outlasts wishful thinking,
Fast approaching an end to the bliss,
An end to the night's romantic fever,
An end to the fire without a trace,
An end to endless drifting through space.
