There she is, in the
center
A beautiful blur
against the dark
Eyes glowing, hair
flowing
Accidently,
unknowingly, the star of tonight
Physically, she
blends in with the crowd
But her intensity
stands out
Her vibrant life is
spilling out of her
Shining for anyone
to see
And yet, she is
still unaware
Captivating all
those around her
She cuts around
people
Weaving in and out
of the smallest spaces
Yet never touching
anyone, never interfering
She seems completely
unconcerned with what the world thinks of her
She somehow hung
onto that carefree attitude we once had as children
And there's
something oddly compelling about it
And as she glides
and weaves and cuts and turns
You feel as if
you're seeing her
In her truest form,
her natural habitat
You begin to
understand that it's actually subtly brave
To give a glimpse of
her most real self in front of all these strangers
She's strong
She's beautiful
She's alive
She's free
And even though
you're just on the outside looking in
She makes you feel
all these things too
And suddenly it's
obvious
As you see her
incredible joy out there
That she skates
Not just because she
feels powerful on the ice
But because it's the
closest she can get
To flying
