Weary of the dance

I put on my prettiest smile

my very best shoes

my loveliest dress

smooth it down with my hands

and I move

swaying

dipping

twirling

spinning

flipping

swirling

somersaults

hands in the air

feet off the ground

gliding

bending

a pirouette or two

faster and slower

forward and back

whirling

leaping

flying in circles

only to find

in my very best moment

no one is watching…
