A long, hot day of summer, Beckoned to a large palm tree. I grabbed an ice-filled glass, Poured some refreshing tea.
A breeze was gently stirring; In the distance, I could hear Melodic sounds of seagulls, And saw children on a pier.
Venturing to the ocean's edge, Soft waves caressed my feet. Suddenly I began to dance To the ocean's soothing beat.
I danced as one, with wind and sea, While in a summer's daze. Wind-chimes tinkled happily, As distant sounds, they made.
I soon retreated from the dance, But I heard a soft voice say, "Next time may I share a dance?" When I looked, to my dismay,
I saw no one to whom the voice Belonged...... but I knew, Deep within my heart was there A longing for only You.
A longing filled by only one, The Savior of my soul, One who touched my heart within, Cleansed and made me whole.
Hesitantly, I turned to leave, Too soon, the day did end. But in the distant red sunset, I knew I'd danced with Him.
