guided by the gentle toes
she lends herself a prayer
graceful gallant airs
we rise as ballerinas
and move in currents
and currents in waves
as light behaves as
we behave
marionette with invisible wings
until spotted by a distant star
the blinking of the little things
looking out from afar
dancing in the lonely moonlight
where all the silences refrain
before the mood begins to wane
we dance like it means nothing
and leap into the space
like we're falling from grace
only to land in perfect pose
guided by gentle toes

pretty
Is this about dancing or being in love? Read it to my family and they loved it. Thank you for entering my contest. Best wishes. -
this poem to me is perfect.

a good poem, ah as light as grace, the spirit soars across the face of language, with ease, and gentle smiles, twirling for awhile under skies that sigh with poetry.
