Poetry: One Step

One step at a time and
we move together.
An intricate dance,
waltzing around the world.

One step and we are in New York,
mesmerized by the lights of Time Square.
Shows on Broadway fill our nights,
exploration fills our days.

One step and we are in San Francisco,
laughing as we go from shop to shop.
Dining with the Golden Gate bridge in front of us,
snapping photos with Chinatown behind.

One step and we are in Dublin,
stepping off the plane weary and excited.
Drinking the nights away in Irish pubs,
Soaking in the beauty of the land in the day.

One step and we are in Berlin,
Smiling as we mock those around us.
Drinking games and singing mark our days,
Opera and dancing fill the space from dusk till dawn.

One step and we are in Paris,
wine and cheese surrounding us.
Mornings occupied by beauty and art,
nights of song and dance.

We dance around the world,
over and over again.
One day there might be a time to stop dancing,
but that is when we are old and gray.
