For George

Empty dance halls


Breathe in mountains, breathe out the sky

The river never looked so blue

Remember the rain, remember the sun

The way it danced in time for you


Hear the click of heels on wood

Smell the scent of sweet fresh pine

Sunshine slants through windows sideways

Swinging her way down the line


Remember the trees, the way the leaves

Shook with autumn joy and light

The light faded but music rose 

Into the air, remember the nights


The deer remember each quick step

The shaken aspen stills its leaves

The winds wish they could allemande

The music waits in shadowed eves


The clouds knew how to play along

The blades of grass, they knew the tune

The birds were great with harmonies

I hope we'll dance again and soon
