~ The Woman of Dust

~ Because dancers are the messengers of the Universe...

~ The Woman of Dust

 

 

It was the last time she danced

Full of passion and emotion

Her eyes filled with sparkles,  she glanced

The evening was loaded

As she was liberated...

As a red orchid flower she moved

Along the stage so elegant secure

She bloomed so purely

I was there…

In Amsterdam’s Carré,

It was her last dance,

She moved as if she could die

As if her life could stop…

The bliss she felt over the years,

As a true dancer came to an end…

Now she would be remembered

As the Woman of Dust…

 

A true Legend

Gorgeous, I can picture her moving across the stage displaying every part of her soul for her audience to see. I have always been deeply moved and entranced by dancers ever since I was a small child. It really is true, "dancers are the messengers of the Universe." Amazing job :)

I felt bad that this was her last dance. I imagined that it must have been such a wonder to see her in all her glory. Beautiful poem Elisa. Xx

Awe, yes, it was her last one, she danced... thank you for your amazing words my dear friend xx

begs the question....when art dies, what do we lose?

So so true.... dear friend! I was a dancer in my younger years, but if I really lost it, I don't think so, for it still lives inside of me, each and every day..... thank you for your comment. Hope all is well? :)

The title of the poem is beautiful. I can see a liberated dancer's feet moving nimbly on the floor. well written

Thank you so much for your beautiful review dear woman, and thank you for picking this special piece out of my library :) x

A woman of dust never sounded so absolutely beautiful. The line as a red orchid flower she moved is uniquely fabulous. This woman sings off the page.

Thank you beautiful woman :)

amazing legend and the way you tell it in poem, contains melody, the feeling of life and death is strong, the dance is the way to express emotions and exist in our world..
Woman of dust will be in our memories...
