Ode To The Stars


The announcers voice slithers into my ears
It is about to begin...
Familiar names, excitement building
And there they are!
So happy to see
They're not on TV
The music shakes me
The lights, so bright and changing
Colours dancing on the ice around them
They look so free like bubbles
If only they would float up to me
A performance for the Gods
They disappear one by one
Everything is in slow motion
And he is all that is left
Deafening silence chased by noise
-much too silent for the great one-
And there they were!!!
My pounding heart applauds...
