Sunlight and Shadows


Contra Dance

Purple, turquoise, golden jewels

Whirl and flash in metallic wings

Up and down the floor they fly

Tap of feet as the fiddle sings

Center hands, star left, star right

Pinwheels turning round and round

Then claps and stomps as forward lines

Meet to fill the hall with sound

Partners allemande and turn

Then drop hands, orbit dosido

In joined momentum taking flight

Spinning fast and free they go

The tapestry of right-left-grand

Weaving strands of moving light

A promenade of glitter home

A shimmer sent into the night
