bewitched by the Prima Ballerina

 she held me captive the minute she appeared on the stage

i found myself lost in Tchaikovsky's vision through the notes of the orchestra

how her commitment shook me to the core of my being

the expression of elegant art

...the Prima Ballerina.

 her bows and acknowledgement of us, the spectators

even then, her desire to exude her profession

her love of the beauty of giving of herself in steps perfectly, painfully, delicately balleted

...the Prima Ballerina.

 oh! the elegance of those arms

those hands expressive to the very tips of her nails

her neck craned like the true swan she portrayed

...the Prima Ballerina.

 I had lost myself in her expressions her drawing in of me

and her supportive cast allowed her to shine

and she did...

the Prima Ballerina.
