One step I walk forward, my next chase.
Pointed shoes wrapped around the ankle.
The hem of the skirt dances like winter snow.
Slowly, I let go and wrap my arms.
The winter calls me in the eternal night.
Swinging my feet up high, I foresee.
The crystals rely on my eyes.
I watch the pretty flakes slowly fade away.
Vast winters and cold feet.
Golden footprints lead me through.
I stand in them, one for the front,
And another for her I see in my reflection.
Pearls of happiness and thunder of fears.
One breath claps the winter air.
I fall and stand between my dream and fear.
The one I look for, the ballet dream.
