Hurricane Ballerina

Hurricane Ballerina
As lightening shone and thunder blue
I danced the dance that dancers do.

With the spin of my pink tutu,
And the twist of my long legs 
I danced with great courage 
As any ballerina caught in
A hurricane would do.

I soared with my heart,
leaped with my legs
waved my arms
With the grace
Of an eagle in flight,

As the waves of the
Hurricane shook
And through me
Into the air
Without a care.
