Ceramic Ballerina
Tipsy as a champagne bubble,
Evading a mirrored double,
And metallic music, her shape soars;
She's my gift, but her talent scores.

The actress I wonder about,
A genius without a doubt,
Twirling on toes painted white,
Her hidden light within my sight.

The salmon-colored mesh tutu
Hints at a perfect billet-doux
And a love lost through the years,
As she pirouettes to my tears.

Her tiny form's in ceramic,
Knows no fear, hate, or panic,
In concert, our lives have swirled,
My music box, her tiny world.
