The Dancer's Daughter

Legacy

Cool dark night

Swirling warmly

Lit by warm light

Emotions torn

Stepping quickly

Joyful spirit

Rising meekly

Do you hear it

Sparks crackle and dance

Among the trees she glides

All she needs is a chance

Shimmy side to side

Hands clap

Feet stamp

She glows under lighted lamp

Their dancing champ

Figure eight

Camel walk

Entering altered state

Letting body talk

Love and loss

Ache and weep

No man's her boss

Though they dream of her in sleep

Unfettered girl child

Dancing her fill

Bold yet mild

Woman still

Under the moon

Small child is one

Green eyes sparkling soon

Watching with longing

She does her best

To imitate swirling steps

Feeling no rest

Until hands reach out and up she steps

Beautiful writing. I can see her dancing now.

Very nice, Norma. I really like the aspiration you show of the child to be a dancer.
