Debra Squyres Poet Free verse

Ballet For One

Full moon watching
 as the ivories dance
 through minds 
 lonely streets.
 A pirouette of keys
 sharpening the night
 allowing memories
 to promenade
 with fluent steps.

 Strides made today
 slip away as shadows
 of the past beckon 
 remembrance;
 tiptoeing quietly
 into the forefront
 with musical ease
 an opera of notes
 meant to appease
 finding this ballet
 is still written 
 for one.
