A Dance of Reverence

Her dress gleams with golden and orange hues

She moves with grace, beauty, and fury

The room brightens at her smile as she twirls across it

Too far to touch

Yet close enough to feel

She twirls her dress to the center of the room

Cascading light across the floor

Another dancer drifts towards her

Her dress steals the glimmer of light

Silver and gray refract the glint

Her white hair flows in grace with her dance

She moves with elegance and mystery

Two sisters move in unison, yet altogether different

She crosses in front of her sister and for a brief moment

The floor is hers

Her shadow falls over me and I am in wonder

She is close enough to touch if I reach out, yet somehow unreachable

Her shadow rolls across my face

And then, as suddenly as she appeared

She moves away from the floor

Her sister continues to twirl her dance of love and warmth and fury

And I am left intrigued

I am mesmerized

I am in awe
