There she was on stage
The Theatre was packed full
Her face painted
Like a porcelain doll.
Lights shone down on her,
Red velvet curtains draped
It's like we were in
The Eighteen Hundreds
She was in full view
Her long black hair was
Camouflaged with her leotard
The spotlights must have
Blinded her eyes
She danced as
Delicately
As a feather,
Mystically and
Artistically,
It was entrancing to see
My friend who was
Starring the show.
The audience were captivated,
Gentlemen smoking their pipes
Nodding heads of approval,
Swift,
Soft,
Subtle movements
Mesmerised the greater crowd...
And then she speaks.
She speaks poetry
In so many words,
Words I can't relay,
I wish I could remember,
But I remember
How it made me feel;
How it made every one feel.
The strange eeriness
Mixed with elegance,
Her words harshly whispered
But true...
The crowd errupted
With applause
"Bravo" "Bravo"
And then I wake....

This is the dream I had about my friend Sammi. I remember telling her and she said that she done a model shoot years ago in the description I described seeing her, I can still picture it as clear as when it happened.... coincidence?
