A Star Twinkling In the Sky

A STAR TWINKLING IN THE SKY
	
                           Music lifts my spirit and fills my soul.
                           Music stirs me up and makes me feel
                             each rhythm, each beat or melody
                                letting myself loose and move
                             to the tempo and each movement
                                becomes an expression of art.

                          It does not matter what music genre,
                        as the music, my musicality and timing
                          transform me into a versatile dancer,
                             emoting the music with my body.

                        A dancer moving gracefully to slow beat
                            or moving with precision, intensity
                        to different kinds of rhythms, melodies.
                          When I’m dancing, I feel transported
                               to another world or in a trance.

                            I feel free expressing my emotions,
                        feelings of serenity, freedom, happiness
                          while my body sways, shakes, moves
                               rhythmically, graciously, agilely,
                           artistically, harmoniously, pleasingly.

                          I feel like there is nobody around me,
                             disassociated with other dancers,
                        or others looking on or merely watching.
                      I feel free like a bird flying high in the sky,
                       a butterfly spreading its exquisite wings.

                     Free like the air that I breathe to feel alive,
                    feeling free to be free, feeling free to be me.
                        Feeling like a star twinkling in the sky,
                 so I’m stamping one of the stars my pen name,
                        Sweet Lady Jane, and how sweet it is
                   to do so on one of the bright stars twinkling.

                        Ahhh…the feelings of peace, freedom
                    and jubilance make me dance with gusto,
                zest and enthusiasm showing my authenticity
                  that catches many eyes and spreading joy
                 that brings enjoyment to people around me.
 
                         They let me know in many ways
                      that they are delighted watching me.
                   Now, they don’t need to see me dancing
                      on the dance floor, they can look up
           at the bright star with my name, twinkling, winking.
