The Fateful Dance


So thin and strong,

moves never wrong,

gliding across the stage,

but never down to the cage.

A short hard leap,

leaves one in a heap,

the tears start flowing 

the show must keep going.

Graceful bow,

whats happened now?

One wrong slip,

to deep a dip,

curtains drawn,

the World moves on.
