Waltz

By Naima Averoff

My life has been a rapid waltz

Life spinning me until I’m dizzy 

I stumble 

Rapid turns

Sudden dips

These quick movements giving me whiplash 

But then I met you

The waltz slowed

The music melodic when it used to be messy

The soft gentle movements

The slow rhythm 

One day I wish to share this dance with you
