 Tulle Time there are stages in ages we remember and perhaps some will come in later Novembers all I have is a photo’s memory a love to dance to raise arms in reverie but the memory is of fear and disquiet something held back in a long ago riot a black and white and my age? but three and girls in tulle, with umbrellas, all little ones, we small children, our ages so varied and the spotlight we shyly carried as the old black and white photo shows little then did I know my first time in colored rouge but it did not show my tears deluge hard to know why the limelight hard to think it was my parents delight to put me in a place of show when their little one was shy, just so timid, but the photo shows a pasted smile is there hard to believe I had asked for stares all I remember is falling down a wonder then I didn’t break my crown the memory of what went on came behind curtains, off stage I believe fear is why my mother’s face set in rage as fact was I had hurt myself she then and there put me on a shelf it’s not her fault, it’s a mother’s fear as children hold mothers hearts so dear no memory of the camera’s flash but only that someone in their rash had moved too fast, or decided to quick and the moment, gone, it went in the click there is a dream for which I still yearn ~ a dancer’s stance ~ my ankles still burn |

Mine too! I have tons of these old black and whites of Jenna and I. I see your tap shoes too  and I can still do a pretty mean dance even at my age. You know what I can see your rouge, through the poem. Oh today especially this one sits so well in my heart. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Karilea, this is soooooo touching, sweet friend, I know this kind of feeling so very much and I too fear so much, only I am the child and I wonder how my parents will remember me and that thought startles me sometimes! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love.

My toes shoes always "clopped" when I walked and my tutu "creeped." NOT! |
