Listen

a dancer's performance~free verse~

Listen




Standing here, I am awaiting my cue;

I close my eyes to hear the piano.

Listen- the walls are singing while

my dress flows, swaying lightly.

My body floats above the ground

held high by my partner's steady hand.

Listen- the rhythm is passionate

echoing through the center stage.

In a sudden movement I feel alive

when a heartfelt tune overwhelms me.

Listen- to this masterful performance,

it pulls my talent to another place.

My flawless creation of dance

was polished with a graceful flight
.
Listen- to the applause within the crowd;

I flush from a standing ovation.
