Eternity In His Mind
He reached his fingers to the stars
willed his legs to move
forced his head so far back
that in his body's arc
his dance's bridge
allowed sunlight particles
(elated faeries)
to traverse
He saw his lean lithe body
pirouette and position,
ran screaming from one side to the next
in a perpetual wish to catch
that last step, that last grand
pointe, to capture small smiles
for infinity in his psyche
He said adieu to his last dance;
farewell to the music
only his ears could capture,
goodbye to a world of ballet
his choreography no longer
visible, but still resonating
in time and space where
once he moved.
