Excellent She dances while she struggles with heartbreak. Dancing Ballerina by jacquelyn popp Artwork by cleo85 at FanArtReview.com

She dances each night While the town sleeps. She dances with a burning desire Dancing gracefully, gliding across a glistened street. Dancing ballerina A soft, illuminous glow upon her. Dancing in the light Of dancing, candle lit lanterns from above. She hears a favorite melody From when they had danced together. And she dances with heartache Perhaps to clear her mind, or to escape. Unaware of the time She dances, yet to another song. Before she realizes That it is almost dawn. And reflects in her many thoughts That it is better to dance, then to weep.         Author Notes This is a poem that I had written in the 80s in high school. I revised it some and wanted to post it. Hope you enjoy.
