Ballerina Dance

The ballerina twirls

With such silent joy

The sun has come out to play

To warm the wisps of hair

Left loose to fall

Down the back of her neck

What beauty, pink ribbons

Crisscrossed about her ankles

Barely blushed like her cheeks

As she spins to music [...]

In a world of strangers

Where we haven’t ever met

I bow to your greatness

Am I lucky enough to get wet

For when creative thunder

Hits so close to home

Be it a painting, a story, or photo

Even an infinitesimal poem

Then genuine arms of greatness

Surround with [...]

From this safe place

My window…

My perch, my abode

Shut in securely behind glass

I spy, I see, I peer

At those that venture out

Courageous ones

Willing to take on the world

Unafraid…

Not shy, nor quiet nor

A little scared like me…
