"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot loose." ~ Jim Elliot


I leap!
I fly!
I fall, I roll, I split, I roll, I'm up--
Pause.
Turnturnturnturnturnstop
Jump
Jump kick
Turn, little leap, big leap, stop.
A breath.
A smile.
Turn turn muscles burn
Kick--
Balance...
And I'm done.
Muscles relieved,
Soul craving more


The author's comments:
I love to dance. I've been dancing for five years, experiencing the joys and thrills of ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, modern, ballroom, lyrical, and Irish step dancing. Dance is both wonderful and challenging, and I hope this poem conveys that feeling.
