The Ballerina
Unscripted part,
now open to my rehearsal.
I slip on my point shoes and stand before the panel.
Begin.
I glide across the unknown world,
and leap into the skies that surround it.
My chin is high and a smile is on my face,
an adverturer, a dreamer, a human, of this
dance of this story.
My soul builds and my body launches,
into action, into my lover eyes, the sweet kiss of day.
I point my toes and turn quickly.
The character in danger, in awe, in agony.
Someone gasps, as I grand allegro into the air.
I turn one more time and stop, my palms out. A surrender.
My eyes gaze down at the floor. My heart beats wildly.
Finished.
The judges say nothing.
I will recieve a yes or no in a week.
