Yearnings of yesteryears
Twisting and turning, gyrating around
Whilst inside her head she still imagines that symphonic, orchestral sound
Churning her yearning of yesteryears dreams
She cannot turn the clock back so she silences shrill screams
But her memoirs still slumber amidst that pale moonlight
As spiralling silhouettes spin like a sparkling sprite
Tripping yon light fantastic on the very tips of her toes
Moving and a’grooving whilst a gentle breeze blows
This lady could dance, yes her moves mesmerised
Whilst passerby’s gasped, they were starstruck, hypnotised
Yet as she bows to the audience blowing kisses into the air
There is no standing ovation, nor a rapturous roar of an encore from anywhere
Just illusions from shreds of threads entangled betwixt her momentous memories
This beautiful Ballerina that has pride of place on those theatre walls, from their most cherished treasuries….

Awww... This is lovely. My sister, who works in a care home, looks after an elderly lady who was once a ballerina. There are pictures and newspaper cuttings all over her wall apparently. She talks endlessly about it. Your poem here reminds me of the lady that my sister spoke to me about. Lovely words Jill 💃 x
