Analysis of Dancing lovers



Once upon midnight summer
 danced two lovers around each other
 under the watchful eye of their blazing camp fire
 to whom his self could not help but dance
 while casting the lovers shadows upon the moon
 for the world to see the love they hold

the wind awoken by the light of the blazing fire
 and to his amazement he saw that the lovers
 hearts were as pure as gold
 and he knew it was true love they hold
 with excitement and joy he blew with all his might
 to wake every creature near and far
 so they may gaze upon the moon
 and watch the love that's ever so true

the water awoken by the howling wind
 and seen the beauty the dancers hold with in
 she knew that the love they hold was the purest ever known
 so she began to thrust her waves against the rocks
 banging and beating within their rhythm

mother earth awoken by the sounds of the thrusting water
 when she gazed upon the dancing lovers
 she knew their love would last for ever
 as she watched the lovers dance
 she raised her leafy arms shaking them back and forth
 to the rhythm of the loving dancers

the spirits were awoken by the fire,wind,water and mother earth
 they knew this was the purest beauty ever seen
 but it wouldn't last in this world today
 for it is cruel and unrefined and they began to cry
 so they prayed to the angels to have mercy on these lovers

the angels knew these dancers would show the world
 the love and beauty everyone should know
 so they reached down upon these lovers
 to take them to the moon
 and to this day if you look closely
 you will see the lovers dancing together
