A moment takes root like a sapling
A memory lingers like a breeze
Laughter and love act like rain
Stories and funny faces
Dance in between pain
Reality peekaboos
As joy overcomes
Bouncing giggles
Asks for a hug
Smiles reveal
Our night is
Fulfilled

It's the perfect #Escape, dancing away on the dance
floor clears my mind,
releases endorphins while my problems take on a new light. Olé!
