WHEN CHILDREN DANCED
Part V: The Gentleman Father
And then I met The Others
and each impressed me in His way,
And if I knew the words to write
I would describe Them here today -
For each of Their tales is as vital
and bold as the ones I've told above,
Maybe soon I'll be a part of Their world...
They already have my Love.
But for now I'm only a watcher
and I'll tell you what it is that I see,
I see a group of friends...of Children...
I see an extended family -
I see strong and intelligent people
centered around a positive loving force,
A natural born leader...a man of action...
He is but a Child of course.
The patient Gentleman Father
with eyes like light through stained glass,
With a voice like eroticized leather
and an air of unquestionable class -
A body that has felt unknown pleasure
and undoubtedly endured through great pain,
With a soul to make the heavens weep
and a fierce devotion that can not be contained.
The disciplined passionate fire
that will burn forever within His heart,
Will refract through the open eyes
of His loyal counterparts -
Bathing His trusted comrades
in a primal ethereal light,
Believe me when I tell you that
They are quite a breathtaking sight.
And when that family is united
They will all stand center stage,
And all of Them will be rewarded one day
when Their battle is finally waged -
For They taught me by daring more...
More than anyone had ever chanced,
How my sendentary world could be changed
on those nights When Children Danced.
