Dancing On Treetops

Admiring foliage in autumn array,
I lay in repose, gazing up at the view…
I could not believe who was there on display!
Was I seeing clearly? How could it be true?

Up there on the treetops, she twirled in delight
as leaves whirled below her, immersed in the fun.
A blue stage had emptied as one belle in sight 
bedazzled the crowd like the rays of the sun!

Adorned in her pointe shoes with hair flowing wild,
she charmed inner child, this longing for free.
Pure grace in white tutu drew widest of smiles…
I’ll always remember when she danced for me.

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/24/2019 12:49:00 PM This is wondrous, HT. Love it... Looking at Caren Krutsinger's 'November Twinkle Fairy' contest, I wonder if this sterling write could be tweaked just a hair to fit that contest... Just a thought; I don't want to or normally like to mess with 'perfection!' Warm wishes, Gershon Login to Reply Hello There Date: 10/24/2019 3:29:00 PM Gershon, I wondered the same thing about the contest...we'll see ;) Your comments have really made my day ~ thank you very much for stopping by :)
