Powers of a "Once Was"

walking around the abandoned room
wondering why she has returned to a
"Nothing but a memory"
Seeking for the Once Upon A Time
      love and passion..
In a Leotard..
    Hair pulled into a tight, faultless bun...
slipping into her pointshoes
    realizing it's been so many years..

The empty, forgotten room
appears intimidating
   she walks to the bar and stretches
      with No music
            with No-one watching
with all her memory
     trying to enhance the lost untold stories
threw her steps..threw her ballet..
               from arabesques
        to height-full leaps
                from flaw-less turns
        to perfect posture
suddenly hearing The Nutcracker music
      {a performance she performed in as a
      child-hood memory...forgotten}
turning she notices her post coach
    happiness is over powering and her confidence returns
she starts dancing.
     Looking as if performing for years
     Looking as a Ballerina again
dancing synchronically to her reflection
         unanimous to each others movements
  The passion once stolen from dancing
has returned

Ballare e un amore e uno sport
Non puo prendere un ballerina da balletto

(Dancing is a love, and a sport
Can't take a ballerina from ballet)
