Doris Culverhouse Poet Personification

Oh To Dance

Ballerina, grace and poise personified
floating on air oblivious to the crowd.
Breathless in awe of the beauty,
Not wanting to miss a step.

Little one dance for joy of the life
you are given.
Oh to dance like floating clouds across the sky...
Dance and keep the cycle of life joyous.

Jay Loveless October 15, 2009 at 11:20 AM beautiful. i really like this, i always wanted to be a dancer, and for the earth i am. beneath the sky in the wind and rain with the grass and mud between my toes, the fire burns in my eyes and soul and i dance until i am nothing more than ash, an offering to my goddess.
