Blue Dancer

Mysterious blue dancer
Not dancing for fame 
But just to claim a name
Dancing through the dark shadows 
That lie upon the earth 
Prepared for the dance ahead 
Not knowing which way they may fall
Gliding across the ground 
Like leaves blowing in the wind 
The way they spin is like a small tornado
Mixed with the north and south winds
As the dance comes to an end
So does the world its self
