spin-feet

Funny how one song can change your mood. I particularly enjoy listening to the waltz. There is something exceptionally flighty and carefree about it. Perhaps it is the beat; 1, 2, 3, 1,2,3 and the continuous flow of the rhythmic patterns. You feel as if the first and the last note of the melody are linked and inseperable. There is no time for one to breathe for the music goes on and on and yet one doesn't feel breathless. There is so much of energy being encapsulated by the spins and turns. As you swirl into the arms of another whether real or imaginary, the vitality in you discharges and rejuvenation takes place. As a result of which you become refreshed because you don't store-up unused power.

The waltz is always magnetic and to a certain level grand. Walk into a ballroom filled with elegantly dressed couples and they dance with assimilation to the sounds of a regal orchestra. As they waltz, the man gently wraps his hand around the curves of the lady while the lady in turn places her hand lightly on his shoulder. A sacred space is kept between the two whereby distance is respectfully maintained. But the other hand clutched each other tightly as if to bolt a ship to the ground. And they move back and forth melting into the music becoming united as they waltz the night away.
