The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

WOW...talk about big regrets. Should have dittoed.
ReplyDeleteI guess that depends on whether remaining true to one's faith is worth dying for...
DeleteI don't really think Kathy that he/she should have dittoed. But thank you so much for reading and sharing your views.
Deletetextwall, I think that is what is happening all over the world. People dying for pursuing their faith ...thank you so much
This was a good illustration of not just blindly following others, but following your faith. Regrettable ending, but ingenious.
ReplyDeleteWe, the humans, alone are responsible for this regrettable ending. Thank you for stopping by
Deletevery powerful message. It is just so true.. As long as you ditto, things are good. The moment you refuse to ditto, all hell breaks loose .. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, on a broader view, we all crave conformity.
DeleteAnd such a slight difference! Cool use of 'ditto', Ruby!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kymm for your encouragement
DeleteI agree with everyone above: cool use of ditto, all hell breaks loose from such a small variance, regrettable end. Not because he/she followed her faith but because of the end result of doing so.
ReplyDeleteYeah not because he/she followed his/her faith. But we all run short on patience. Anything different must be denounced hence regrettable end. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteYes. For all I can think, it has put civilizations to end. Thank you so much for stopping by
ReplyDeleteWe can't always ditto everything, sometimes we have to follow our spirits no matter where it leads.
