The lights dimmed
She materialized on stage standing
Graceful and still
Music begin to play
She let the sound flow through
her
Eyes closed she became music
Slowly lifting one elegant arm
from
It’s resting place by her side
She teased the crowd with her
moves
Precision in each step had them
Holding their breath
Giving and taking until she
thought
They’d had enough
Her long legs she’d thrust out
Head held high she was truly
A diva
Swirling around her dress mesmerized
As it performed about her body
In fluent movement dancing in
And out circling her swaying hips
Exquisiteness to look at
Beautiful performance
She inflamed all those that observed
She stared looking straight into their hearts
Commanding respect
She’d danced till blood filled
Her shoes
Pouring out her heart and soul
One tear drop hung on her
Eyelash
Gradually the music died away
Silence overwhelmed
She stood serene holding her breath
A single red rose landed at her feet
