Your Light Shines Bright

 

Incredibly natural in your element,

precise and with such flair,

endless joy is always evident

after years of training with so much care.

 

Every sense in me takes notice,

your smiling face constantly aglow,

how radiant your form

you just don’t realize, you must not know.

 

My mind eternally fascinated,

as you dance across the floor,

my eyes helplessly transfixed

as you melt me to my core.

 

Any spotlight completely pointless,

any stage would be child’s play,

your spirit burning brightly

bids my heart to always stay.
