Heart of Fire

Ballerina On A Razor's Edge

she danced suspended
caught in a web between
sweet pleasure and pain
a moth whirls around a flame

lithe ballerina twirls
along a razors edge
graceful are her steps
she dances without fear

wild and free she moves
arms reaching for heaven
safe in knowing no doubt
he would never let her fall
