Held within the trunk, the branches,
her form may be hidden,
but revealed to some of us;
stopping to see her movement
the dance in mid-step.
Her body in motion,
yet static, anchored to the earth;
but moving ever, silently,
slower, faster, spinning,
in her spirit, in her mind.
A dancer frozen
in mid-twirl, in a jump;
but dancing yet, posing,
a plie, a pirouette, a leap, ascending,
in her spirit, in her mind.
Her lines may be hidden,
obscured by a hedge of branches;
but her body is still moving,
twisting, turning,
in her spirit, in her mind.
