Hello my lovely friends. Enjoy today’s poem and illustration.
Little Dancer
Little dancer
Floating across the room
What must you feel
Weaving like an ancient loom
Full of grace
Transcending time and space
Strong bones
Long legs wrapped in muscle
Listening to tones
Of visual music
Spinning around
Until you hit the ground
We get lost
Deep within your laughter
Laughing is tossed
Aside. Tears begin to flow
Because one word
You heard from miles away
I spend ages
Rebuilding you. Wanting you to stay
But one day
You go only leaving your shadow
We put you
Into the cold hard earth
We sing your song
Because for you, we long
Little dancer
Why did you die?
Why did you
Give up over stupid words?
We see you
Walking around in business suits
But you killed
Something inside yourself
That day
You listened to what they say
Keep following your dreams. Keep doing every little thing that makes you, you!
Allie ❤
