The spotlight brightens
The music begins
I'm up on my toes
as I twirl and spin
I jump and I leap
From one side to another
feeling just the music
never any other.
I raise up in pointe
then down in plie
performing what I've practised
for so long every day.
To dance is my dream,
I can't let it die
for when I do dance
I feel I can fly.
A poem for Tanja

The spotlight brightens
The music begins
I'm up on my toes
as I twirl and spin
I jump and I leap
From one side to another
feeling just the music
never any other.
I raise up in pointe
then down in plie
performing what I've practised
for so long every day.
To dance is my dream,
I can't let it die
for when I do dance
I feel I can fly.
