The Dance of Dances

The Pirouette of life's memories
Flitter before my eyes...
Grand Jeté moments of ecstasy -
leaping forth triumphantly!
The Arabesque of solitude, 
Contemplation and longing.
Balancing En Pointe moments -
Where something just has to give...
As I crumble into a Grand Plié.
Rising into Pas De Deux, a joyous unity...
The Porté of two becoming one.
Never wanting it to end. Coda Crescendo.
Unexpected. Sudden. Unforseen.
Now I wait for my Pas Marché.
Paying Reverence to life's memories:
The Dance of Dances.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I had to look up some of the terms in this poem to realize that you named dance moves in this winning poem in my contest. How fitting that a contest for Dance of...gets dancing terms used inside it. Great job and congratulations!
