Spinning to Glory

by Aditi B

To fling my arms in the air
In some place so far away
To twist and spin
Till the sun may set today.
Then when night falls gently
I take a rest
And sit perched under a tree
Thinking about my pure white skates
That is my dream!
To jump up gracefully high in the air
Through day and night
Twirling, whirling!
My glamorous blue dress
Wrapped around my slightly tanned skin.
Then at night, I do not rest
And continue prancing in the air
Through dusk, through dawn.
Until finally, I take one last leap.
