Pratincolous
Her toes barely touched
The soft earth
As she twirled and danced
To the beat of her heart
She smiled at the animals
Inviting them to play
They came to her
One by one
From the forest
From the shore
From the desert
From the sky
From where ever they were from
All were welcome
They danced under the light
The phosphorescence of the moon
They danced til the moon set
And the sun rose
And she had disappeared
The animals returned to their homes
Forest, shore, desert, sky
But when the moon came up
She again smiled
