I dropped it, but I've never lost the dance in my soul. Your poem reminded me of that this morning - though the reasons in the poem were perhaps a bit more severe and heart wrenching than mine!<br />Tabatha pointed out my favorite moving moment also. Really thought provoking and beautiful!

If we do a bad performance, it's hard to forget. We are always striving for perfection, which we know we will never attain."<br /><br />Audrey Hepburn at the Dance Studio is a beautiful word ballet. I love how you weave in technical ballet terms to give the poem a cadence.Anita Saxenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444339735834716979noreply@blogger.com
