A ballet in the middle

A ballet in the middle,
in the center of the blossom,
Petals the dancers’ bodies,
the whole blossom the stage…
 
Dancing in the center,
rising higher, swirling,
Twirling to the rhythm,
to the emerging life…
 
Can you see their motion,
in the static image, frozen?
Can you hear the music,
rising, welling up in their bodies...
 
Petals are dancing, captured,
in a whirlwind in the center.
So beautiful, alive, emergent,
on the canvas’ vertical plane...
