I Love Ballet
i love ballet
the synchronization of the body
to music
as I watch those bodies glide
swans upon a water chorus
I see the black band
worn by the Roman Legions
a fidelity so strong
self-control is never an issue
dedicated to no matter the price
no care given to pain
the goal is to be achieved
enthralled, inspired I sit in rapture
the admiration encased in ballet
breathes in hope
we, humans, may eventually achieve
the larger goal before us
Earth rotating thru the heavens
carrying the bliss we deserve
where life has found the dedication
this lithe, svelt performance
I sit and watch
until then I purchase my ticket
sit in the front row
hope and dream
watch enthralled of what could be
