Waltz of Love

I know, its been over a year since my last post. The past year was very busy. I just recently wrote something new and everyone who has read it has had nothing bad to say, so I figured its time to actually post it now. I did this on a night shift for work. Enjoy!

Waltz of Love

Noise, it fills her ears. People, they gather all around her. Aromas, they fill her nose. Walls, they trap her in. Heat, it fills the room. Joy, it is glowing all around her. Thoughts, they fill her head.

She sits at a party and how she feels is the same each time. Not sure why, she pushes herself past all the terrible things she feels. Because it’s important to all those around. If she appears to have a bad time, she fears she will hurt them and she doesn’t want to be the reason why. She has struggled with people all her life. She never got close and never cared to open her heart to those who showed her care. Her biggest fear is losing those she loved. She didn’t want to lose her heart, let it be torn, let it be crushed. She guarded it with all she had because of her lack of trust.

Drowning herself in the crowd of people she sits alone full of sorrow. She doesn’t want to be seen, she doesn’t want to open up. With a tear on her cheek she raises her head from her knees. A swift movement catches her gaze. She follows it until she sees a man. With curiosity she looks, and gazes upon a face. This face is like no other she has ever seen. He drew her in and she wanted to know more. His eyes locked on hers. In the room crowded with people, he was the only one she saw. Full of questions she saw he was coming near. He extended his hand out to her and asked her if she “would dance with him a Waltz of Love”. Accepting his offer she took his hand, and entered his dance. His Waltz of Love would soon be her very own song to sing and shout for every day to come.

He began his dance and brought her in close, taking her hand he held her tight.  She felt him close and began to trust. When she gazed upon his eyes of love, she started to realize something new. With a voice so faint, she uttered one word, “Why?” and began to cry. With eyes so sincere he captured her gaze; he answered simply, “Trust in your heart”. He wiped away the tears and began to dance his Waltz of Love. A message so clear she began to see, see who he really was. He continued to lead and guided her through. He showed her each step as she followed him, she was beginning to trust him and open her heart.  With one little stumble was all that it took, to shake her trust and set her back. Without saying a word he picked her up and brought her back into his warm embrace. She pushed away because of her failing trust. With a firm but gentle hand, he was able to show her that she could trust. He pushed away the hair from her face and tilted her chin so she could look into his eyes. Once he had her eyes locked on his, he told her to trust because he was love. He told her this dance was her song as well, that she could be happy and trust that she was loved. He told her his guidance and tight embrace is what she needed most because without him she was a lost soul. She let go of her fear and let him inside. Her heart was open for the very first time. As his loved poured and flowed into her heart, she was happy for the very first time. “Oh Lord oh Lord,” she cried out to him, “your love is so beautiful for I do not deserve.”  With sweet simple reply “My child, my beloved, my love is so good and so perfect for you, trust in me and it is forever free.” With tears of joy and a heart full of hope, she continued his waltz, for it is now her new song and forever and ever will be the dance that she sings, The Waltz of Love.
