The end of the dance
When the dance ended and the music stopped
I wept the sorrows of my broken heart.
When the melodies ceased and no longer played
I was left in desolation, hidden and not displayed.
Now the songs are not sung
and the poetic lyrics are undone,
the inspiration that once glowed so bright
has become an abysmal darkness in my life.
The chimera of affection faded,
dispelling an illusion created;
the void of loneliness has returned
front and center, the position earned.

a dance on life's floor always leads to brief silence but will burst again with energy until the night is done...good read, Gypsy red.

Songs are always popping into my head. My first thought was Marvin Gaye's "After The Dance" but a better fit may be "The Dance". Garth Brooks did version but I like Dave Koz's version with Bebe Winans. Just a big fan of the saxophone here.

All the songs you quoted are wonderful and I do love the sax its a very sexy sounding instrument.

only problem is quoting Bert and Ernie, that "you have to put down the duckie if you want to play the saxophone", and I happen to live in the land of Ducks! (laugh)
