Rhinestone Ballerina
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rhinestone ballerina, her satin shoes whisper on the open stage,
a quest for perfection, her heart’s inner gauge.
En pointe she stands breathless, her body totally still.
She pirouettes with impeccable skill.
The music soars, her spirit takes flight.
Rhinestone ballerina dances, her body an extension of music’s might.
The world around her slowly fades away.
She dances on, discipline and practice lead the way.
She paints the stage with her heart,
with pirouettes and arabesques, exquisite art.
Rhinestone ballerina, glides with fluidity and grace,
a story she tells of another time and place.
The audience watches in silent awe.

At the end of her performance, she takes her final bow,
her quest for perfection, fulfilled somehow.
In her timeless grace, audience sees a fiery spark,
