Solitary Dancer

She reels and dances in the hall
of her apartment home.
Imaginary leaps and whirls 
on clouds of magic foam.

Exquisite movements to a song
expressed through one pure heart.
The music in the background adds
much feeling to her art.

She seems ecstatic, unaware
of those who view her show.
Bright eyes and smile reveal her soul,
a child of light, aglow.

That solitary dancer who
flies free within herself,
now occupies a cherished niche
on our own heart's top shelf!

Thanks, Debbie, for reading the poem. Yep, my granddaughter JuliEtta is a diva and loves to put on a show. Very free and expressive. I hope she never loses that childlike quality with time. Thanks for reading, again Deb. All good things be yours.

Thanks, Julia, I am just figuring out how to thank people for their comments. I have been going to the wrong pew in church. I found it now though! I love your words, also. Stay blessed until we chat again.
