The Gift


Now comes the girl in black
Elegantly she holds her hands
Her body is posed beautifully
Ready from where she stands
       
Then comes the  music
And movement begins
Collaboration between the artists
That starts with harp and violins

Mesmerized are the beholders
Mouths are opened wide
All eyes follow carefully
As she moves from side to side

From a sudden burst of speed
She leaps leaving the ground
From a whirlwind in flight
She gently touches down

She then spins in a circle
One hand holding her blade
While arched in position
Her signature is made

Gracefully she flows over the ice
While searching through the sky
A figure of moving beauty
Reflecting in everyone’s eye

Her wings beat for a last time
Crystals fly up in her wake
Slowly she descends landing
In the mist on the frozen lake

Ruefully the world slowly returns
As this fairy tail spell starts to lift
It was then I had thought to myself
How wonderful she shares her gift
