DANCE THE HALL WAY
*-*
The star above
Is my light
I dance for thee
Till early light be
I see the moon
It shines for me
In this open space I will dance
Till my heart content
Hall ways are bare
I see my way
From end to end
As I so dance
Door by door I
Dance the halls
Windows for view
I do not see you
Yet I dance
The hall
In search for you

STARSTRUCK
Before the days of Philip Two
when Armada’s ill wind blew through,
further before their world grew new
and o’er so much empire flags flew.
‘Twas at the Duke’s great hacienda
just outside of Barcelona
where Ferdinand of Aragon
first saw lovely Isabella.
She the princess of Castile.
Her necklace bore the royal seal.
At the ball she stunned anon,
setting Ferd back on each heel.
He curtsied to ask her to dance,
already in a smitten trance.
Then held her tight throughout the night,
basking in Izzy’s loving glance.
Musicians played while couples swayed.
The Duke’s approving smile betrayed.
And when all fingers touched the dawn,
two lovers’ bond was sealed with jade.
Now peeling paint on crumbled stone.
The crime of time left long alone.
So far since fates were dealt for Spain,
darkness erased by new light shone.
Once hallowed halls now blind and mute
No more the lyre or the lute,
or echoes of the greatness lost.
No way to ignorance refute.
Historic chapters written thus
by chemistry and passion’s lust.
Spain united by true love,
to power quest of Columbus.

“Dancing Under the Stars” by Matthias Haker
HIDDEN WITHIN
Twinkling points of brilliance
illuminating the shadows of day
amid the dark and dusky recesses
of imagination’s open and vaulting space,
awaken slumbering senses
as I linger for just a while,
searching for meaning
and direction hiding
among the secrets
streaking silently
across the canvas
of majestic nighttime skies.
