The Dance

High up into the clouds,
I dance my silent dance,
for my twinkling audience.

The stars look down on me,
they whisper to me,
dance, little one, ..dance..
dance for us.

And so I dance,
high up in the clouds,
gliding through the sky,
the stars are happy,
and so am I.

I hear them talk,
they talk about me,
me!
I am so happy!

Then one thought shimmers...
One little fear...
Will I dance forever?
And what will happen to the stars,
when I die?

No choice... I must dance forever.

Ferry E. Gerkema
