Cat’s out of the bag with this one. If I could fit it into my busy schedule, I’d return to ballet immediately. Today’s terza rima reflects that desire. For the woman with the full schedule whose heart is still calling out to do something different, how do you address its longing?
Another Chance to Dance
Today, I searched and wondered if I could
take a stab, beginning ballet again—
because my heart and soul tell me I should…
If I did dance again, could I maintain
the rhythm of my life for what it is?
Why the longing? And how did it remain?
Yet, I can see me leaping with pure bliss!
The soloist reborn and thrives again.
It may take time, but surely I won’t miss.
Another chance to dance His way begins.
