Captivated by Moving Grace

mesmerized,

her body glided

across the stage

moving lithely

with grace

a pirouette,

twirling and

spinning,

unbelievable

outstanding

extending her leg

above her head,

arching her back,

she fell faultlessly into

his awaiting arms

gently raising her body

above his head,

he twirled her,

a human arch,

delicate

balanced

beautiful

with controlled tension

and beautiful grace,

he gently lowered her body

to the floor

and the two

danced

as one

back and forth

across the stage,

stepping lightly,

barely touching

the floor

or the other’s hand

breathlessly,

I watched

the two

dance as one

from the depths

of my being

I applauded,

with tears of

   joy

    delight

         awe and

            amazement

streaming

   down

       my 

          face

captivated

by the beauty of

beholding

two

become

one

in the

movement

of

grace
