'The View'

Taut muscles that dance under smooth skin

Ease swiftly through complex movements.

Never a beat off, always twirling and shifting.

As I watch, I begin to wonder about the other.

‘How did you come to know your gift?

Was it a fluke? Perhaps someone pushed you?’

As my thoughts wandered, my eyes glided back to your form.

Exquisite motion greet my eyes as you seemingly

Float across the room, every limb swaying to the beat.

You smile as you go along, unaware of my gaze.

Not a care in the world; just you and the small universe you create.

I find myself drawn into that smile, bewitched even.

How can such a simple expression change you so much?

It’s as if every sound you hear is music and you can’t help yourself.

The music stops and your friends come to congratulate you.

Small tears trickle from the corners of your eyes.

Chuckling, I stand up from my perch.

Perhaps I’ll come watch you again sometime~
