I wanted to be a dancer
at the age of five
a ballerina floating in the air
happy to be alive
Walking on my toes
twirling like a planet in orbit
stretching out my hands
expression was important
Omitting the bun
my hair was quite short
wearing a flowing tutu
happy to report
Eating a sorbet
at the end of a dance
feeling quite grownup
still in a trance
Dream is still alive
perhaps one day
when I’m in my eighties
an inner five year old ballerina will sway
