with stylish finesse and elegance
her thoughtful movements paved the way
for precision in the realms she inhabited
her decency preceded every interaction
and the civility offered by her
ensured respect for herself and others
even in and especially in times of hardship
the delicacy with which she carried herself
seemingly effortless natural poise oozed from her being
the generous dignity displayed and shown all
heralded goodwill and good outcomes
she roused generations to aspire to greatness
Beautiful poetry and I feel the same way about ballerinas, what dignity and beauty they have indeed. A dream of mine as a little girl.
