The lights dimmed

She materialized on stage standing

Graceful and still

Music begin to play

She let the sound flow through her

Eyes closed she became music

Slowly lifting one elegant arm from

It’s resting place by her side

She teased the crowd with her moves

Precision in each step had them

Holding their breath

Giving and taking until she thought

They’d had enough

Her long legs she’d thrust out

Head held high she was truly

A diva

Swirling around her dress mesmerized

As it performed about her body

In fluent movement dancing in

And out circling her swaying hips

Exquisiteness to look at

Exciting to witness her

Beautiful performance

She inflamed all those that observed

She stared looking straight into their hearts

 Commanding respect

She’d danced till blood filled

Her shoes

Pouring out her heart and soul

One tear drop hung on her

Eyelash

Gradually the music died away

Silence overwhelmed

She stood serene holding her breath

A single red rose landed at her feet
