    Larry....this is so heartbreaking...a young mush like me can't read stuff like this, it tears me up!!

    I kind of got two ideas here and you can blame the movie "The Notebook" for the one...but a part of me sees this as a poem about a loved one with Alzheimers...Were there will be an instant that the loved one returns and remembers who he is, they dance, but in a quick moment, during that kiss, she realizes she has no idea who he is, what hes doing there, she lays there sick again...

    or...

    the dance could have been imagination...Regardless, this is so heartbreaking and people go through this daily..Such a terrible thing to deal with. I'll never forget my Grandma dieing...I failed college courses while she was dieing. I couldnt visit without crying..it never seems fair for us to watch it, but its part of life....

    gosh....so so sad, yet I must say, for a girl who hates rhyming poems, I found this to be flawless. :)

      Or . . . there are ancient beliefs that when a soul has vacated a living body other beings sometimes enter it for short periods until they lose their grasp and are ejected. Perhaps even the original occupant.
