The Ice Skater (Dedicated to Alexei Urmanov)
You are beautiful.
I can only watch breathlessly As you trace the music upon the ice.
You are untouchable. We are separated by a pane of glass. Divided by oceans; Connected by a thin line I am unseen; Just as a single admirer Is imperceptible Against the blur of the crowd.
You are beautiful.
You stand upon a cold, unforgiven stage The eyes are upon you. The eyes are upon YOU.
Take your bows Thrive upon the nameless cries of the audience, Roses scattered at your feet; Tokens of admiration, Praise in a solid form
As you take your final bow, I cast my words upon your feet.

-Cherryne Edejer
