--A Star Danced--




             * A Star Danced*


So ebony soft is indeed this night.
However, only to be lit by a dancing star.
I watched with profound amazement,
At all the ballet moves it knew from afar.


Bringing back my childhood.
With its grace and ballet elegance.
You see, night is like a star or firefly,
Whose glory sparkles mostly only at night.


It's been a lifelong mystery to me~
But it is when the sun is gone,  
And only then, I am fully alive and truly me.
Darkness divine, emblazons my quill, like a quadrille.
  

It's only with silver moonbeams and twinkling stars,  
I feel as a divinely, embraced, celestial one!
The night is my day, and may it forever be.
For God's nightly heaven, brings out the best in me.

Dedicated to my fellow ballet partner and Cousin Madelyn,
and our ballet memories and joys with Miss Leila! 
Thank you for the footlight memories we shared.
Love you~ "Blue Danube" Panagiota

Oh, so glad you saw it too!! I just adore ballet and dance. It takes much training and discipline plus talent! My cousin is wonderful. A great spirit as a dancer, skier, ski instructor, ice skater and human being. Thanks, Jenish again Panagiota xx 12:30am PST
