as soft trickling touches...

Through the grand doors of the horses arena.
Standing beside the rusted rail, assessing the parade
For the eyes of a hardened ballerina.

Through the mist of dandelion seeds
That float across the dew filled field 
The dancing seeds part majestically
The grass bends the stalks do yield
