Where did the music go?

For of this dance the music shall end in silence
Take my word, I have watched this sawdust dream,
hand in hand with another,
swaying beneath a glow of harmonized fiction’d love,
dissipate in a faultless flume of symphonic mist
Lost will be the melodic embrace
that once moved in rhythm…as one

And those who stood there, blank smiles,
toes tapping, hearts beating rapidly in drum beat tempo
along poster’d walls of coming acts…
Those you slow danced past, not even a glance,
a wink or a smile shall follow the lead of another,
waltzing till midnight and tango’d tomorrows
as you walk home, mediocre paced…alone…wondering

Where did the music go?
