There is a place where I would go to often and sit in ethereal silence 'neath a canopy of mandarin stars and wind my music box for hours to watch the tiny ballet dancer dressed in a laced sheath of topaz satin gracefully swirl on tiptoe in classic elegance restoring peace, yet now the painted sky above her is broken things will never be the same again as it strums away the memories the music box winds down to an end a handful of dreams sitting wistful...unplayed blanketed with dust rusted by tears passed over by days she remains encased by tarnished porcelain cracked... yearning to be free to dance once more and chance the air, no longer beautiful it sings not a tune sorrow has faded the melody that once lived within *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Wonderful! We all are that music box ballerina at some point in our lives. All we can to is dance on, tirelessly, until we can dance no more. Wonderfully written. Jeffy |
