As he dances in the spotlight
like a star
It gleams on him
and he smiles
The sounds roar around him
hypnotizing
he laughs
ready to perform
Dashing on the set
trees and bushes
Concealing him
The audience roars
And a burst of energy fills him
Sweat pours from his face
Dancers behind him in sweet pursuit
Dance, he cries
Pure exhilaration
it all comes together
the crowd
the noise
the light
Swimming feverishly in his head
and then he sees the fire
beckoning him
a deep pressure pierces through him
And the soft petals of red roses
Escapes from within
They drop softly to the floor
And all other sound is diminished
He slowly takes a bow
The curtain then falls
