Our Moment

a CD.
round disk.
spun inside a player
around around it goes

beautiful melodies play
soothe the soul and mind
a ballad in the background

you smile,i smile
we remember this song
it played lowly in Duke's diner
first date memories

you wrap an arm around me,
we dance in the kitchen
left,back,right,forward
a slow waltz, swaying

the children are sleeping upstairs
peace and quiet,finally
the products of love begun so long ago
now dazing in their dreams

sixteen years go by so fast
can't even feel it
next thing you know there's a little gray hair
sprouting from the top of your head

in a playful moment,
you dip me back
my hair scrapes the floor
laughing

the CD comes to an end
the song stops
yet we keep dancing
we know this song by heart
