WEIGHTLESS

people like to argue

they go at it, tooth and nail

they seem to think the maddest

not the fittest, will prevail

but we're not up in arms

we're in the arms of sweet romance

encumbered by life's gravity

but weightless when we dance

people swap their partners

sometimes several times a year

it's like a game of lotto

where the outcome isn't clear

but when hearts intertwine

then love is not a game of chance

taxed by life's uncertainty

but weightless when we dance

people pray for miracles

and sometimes, they've occurred

but if you only let it be

the answer is assured

the best in life ? not miracles

but merely happenstance

suspicious of life's frailty

but weightless when we dance
