A ballet in the middle – v2

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