Calligraphy Dance
written by: Tattered Words

In cover of shadow
She walks promptly
Center stage…
Her hallow ground, head bowed;
Reflecting in moment
Clapping…
The crowd dulls into silence
Her face calm, reflecting.
Silence…
It is in this moment
She is always anxious
Breathe…
As she was trained
She took a breath
Silence…
It is in this moment
She was ready
Music cues in…
Lights highlight her now
She becomes the pen, flowing
Her face, calm
Presenting her smile; while
Her limbs pounce and spin
As if ink flowed to paper
Calligraphy across the stage
Strength and grace transcribing
The crowd is in awe
She writes her story
Years of discipline
Practice, sweat and bad hair
Bloody toes and sore knees
Reassurance of parents after each meet
She had become the dancer
She knew she would be
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
This is for my daughters who have worked so very hard throughout their childhood with dance. Watching them as young adults I was amazed to what they have accomplished.
