Last week I was inspired by a poem written by Lucky Pyatt, Royal Edward Pyatt entitled 'The Dance' read by his very close friend Keith Trostle. Lucky has been gone now for 12 years or so and is sorely missed by those who knew him. As a salute to Lucky, here is his poem.
THE DANCE
by Lucky Pyatt
It is but with a touch that you come alive
I run to seek your control so that you can lift
to be where you belong with me.
I raise my hand to show we're ready; We are one,
to do what we are destined to do.
With the accuracy of a machine, and the grace of
Weightless snow.
We together perform the beauty
as only we can know.
We together climb to the stars and attack the ending
ground.
Then turn away and laugh with joy at the shouting
of this crowd.
We dance the circles and leap away to another
part of time.
We spin and loop and blow 'em away.
Because it is we that love to fly.
And now it is time to end this dance
that lasts just moments then dies.
Thus, I bring you down to touch the ground
as graceful as you can fly.
Beautiful Words.

John, Keith Trostle or someone else may be able to help you with that one. Apologies on the format going all wonky today. The same happened to my poem , The End of The Tether also this morning. Don’t know what that’s all about.
John. Carrodus.
