A ballerina of blue

A ballerina
blissfully bended
in blue
reaches out
into the
overbearing
embrace of
empty space .
Hopelessly
hankering for
the fondness
of a familiar face
to set all her
life’s pieces
back into
place .

Thank you

I wrote this while being bed bound and listening to music which helps illuminate an idea in my head . Was listening to the song round and round and it gave me the image of a blue ballerina.

very good

I am deaf
but listen little well
with earphones

Listen to a song BY NORAH JONES ...COME AWAY WITH ME ...
ALSO SEE AMERICAN AUDITIONS
IT helps in passing time
when one is confined
all the best young bold man

Thank you friend

Yes I usually listen to music on low volume because i have sensory issues I don’t like loud noises
I usually just listen to the beginning of the song ,

I would have...

used [bent]. I really like the wishing for a fond face to help with the putting of
her life's pieces back in place.I can see the face, huge with beautiful blue eyes
in the tiny ballerina's perspective.The ballerina being one on top of a music-box
playing tinkly-music and the ballerina going 'round and 'round. Nice vision. ~ Geez.
