Pointé...Not a Flight for the Weary

Flying through the air and landing on a dare.
The prima ballerina glides across the floor
with grace abound galore.
Like satin and roses or champaign and caviar,
her method is smooth and soothes the weary soul.
On the edge of my seat with breath held,
I can feel my heart beat.
As she lands with grace, I sigh with relief.
One more ballet comes to an end,
and my ballerina is safe on the ground again.
