Notes About The Poem

BALLET OF WORDS

BALLET OF WORDS
Thoughts pirouette light,
twirl on the blank screen of night,
a ballet of words.
Ink swirls with a dancer's grace,
a grand jeté through the stars.

Ink flows like soft rain,
her verses spin on the breeze,
gentle, yet profound.
Spirit spills onto the page,
a pas de deux with her soul.
