~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the grand ballroom of existence, we sway to time's gentle cadence, each step a moment, a fleeting chance, to embrace life's ephemeral dance. With every graceful turn and twist, we're swept away in its mystic tryst, in moments tender, love may find, or sorrow's touch may leave us blind. Oh, how the hours, they swiftly glide, as we waltz with fate, side by side, in the tender gaze of cherished eyes, or the bittersweet taste of long goodbyes. Yet, let us cherish each sweet refrain, for time's melody, it will not wane, in memories woven, heart to heart, we're bound by time's exquisite art. And though the music may soon subside, and darkness falls with eventide, the dance endures in spirit's rhyme, in the echoes of our fleeting time.

I loved it all but particularly loved "in moments tender, love may find, or sorrow's touch may leave us blind ". Your Irish friend Danny

Dear Sara, A wonderful reflection on the passage of time and the dance of life. How can you not love the grand ballroom of existence and the gentle cadence of time's waltz and how it beautifully captures the ephemeral nature of our moments? Yes, cherish each precious moment and embrace the fleeting dance of life with grace and gratitude. I loved that it was such a deeply reflective piece. - Blessings, Daniel

Hey Sara.. Your poem beautifully captures the essence of life as a grand ballroom dance, where each step represents a fleeting moment in time. The imagery of swaying to time's gentle cadence evokes a sense of elegance and fluidity, highlighting the delicate balance between joy and sorrow that characterizes the human experience.
