The lights dimmed
She materialized on stage standing
Graceful and still
Music begin to play
She let the sound flow through
her
Eyes closed she became music
Slowly lifting one elegant arm
from 
It’s resting place by her side
She teased the crowd with her
moves 
Precision in each step had them
Holding their breath
Giving and taking until she
thought
They’d had enough
Her long legs she’d thrust out 
Head held high she was truly
A diva
Swirling around her dress mesmerized 
As it performed about her body
In fluent movement dancing in
And out circling her swaying hips
Exquisiteness to look at
Beautiful performance
She inflamed all those that observed 
She stared looking straight into their hearts 
 Commanding respect 
She’d danced till blood filled
Her shoes
Pouring out her heart and soul 
One tear drop hung on her 
Eyelash
Gradually the music died away 
Silence overwhelmed 
She stood serene holding her breath
A single red rose landed at her feet
