| Belle of the Dancing
Trees
Her garments flow like moss on the cypress
As she moves across the stage
Her body spins in rise like the towering pine
The graceful figure of a bygone age
With a gentle fall like leaves from the oak
She lies in bundle on the floor
Then awakening like the spring to azaleas
She reaches out for something more
She lends a smile like magnolia blossoms
As she tiptoes to center stage
Then offers her bow like the weeping willow
With a final turn of history's page
