Etudes Of Brilliance Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Etudes Of Brilliance



Shadows silently proclaiming fluid beauty of figure
skaters below.

Pounding rhythm to colors of red, incessantly cradling
motives of creative dance, touching chords of primitive
origins hiding inside.

Slowly, lazy blues creeping around our ears, jumping,
leaping, skates clinking, shining rainbowly across the
ice.

Sensing the urgency of musical notes, waiting to be
expressed in fantastic body movements, captured on
skates.

Filled with expression, overflowing onto the audience,
creating an imagination of time and space.

Flowing onward, tranquilly soothing even the hardest
hearts with etudes of brilliance.

Picturesque movements, allowing freedom of interior
beings to come alive, sharing the feeling as one together
in the arena.

Touched by the sensual sadness of effervescent music,
lulled to tears, joyously fulfilled through hearts of
sight.

Prayerfully enfolded in eternity's memory, cradled forth,
feeling within, the rhythm of natural beauty.

A sea of deepest purple, pink, green, blue, red, all of
it serenading spotlights, moving about the ice.

Reflecting shadows of each skater onto an array of eyes,
watching spellbound as they are skating below us, reaching
peaks of perfection throughout their routines in the show.

Rapidly moving across time in a space of mind, reserved
for beauty, reaching out for applause, taking it in stride,
racing around the rink with pride.

Gently spinning within colored lights, taking turns, bowing
and fading into the night, leaving as they came, all
of them champions.
