Breathless

Warrior Ballerina

You are a tapestry of contradiction

Each thread woven into the next

both strong and delicate

Every muscles poised

Every movement perfect and beautiful

powerful, and passionate

Your elegant words dig into me

But beneath that compelling voice

lays a profound vulnerablity

Your strong fingers

Twist through your soft hair

Aching to be touched

Your powerful legs push forward

Always needing to be first

But your body shakes through the night

Never able to embrace the presence of stillness

Your naked face and unsculped brows

Are met by designer dresses and perfect hair

There is a gentleness that shimmers under the surface

A vulnerability beneath the bravado
