Description
Memories remain
Of a bygone day
When a beautiful ballerina
Loved two things in this world
More than life some say
Roses and ballet.
As a child she would
Dance in her garden
And sing and play
With her precious roses
In the most loving way
Her secret wish was
To dance at the Paris Ballet
And so she practiced every day.
And the fairies and roses were listening
And they made her wish come true
As only fairies and roses can do
For in a bed of roses
She found a pair of pink satin ballet shoes
And when she put them on
She danced all the way to the Paris stage.
Her movements made roses bloom
On those magical rose ballet shoes
As she twirled like swirling petals
Every step filled with pure light, joy, and love
And every year she danced
The beauty within her
Grew and grew.
Then one day
So very long ago
The beautiful ballerina went away
Of course the memory of her stayed
Where she went no one knew
And her shoes disappeared, too.
Perhaps those rose ballet shoes
Found their way into another little girl’s heart
And will one day make all her dreams come true.

Carol, EXQUISITE comes to mind with this painting and poem...both Classic pieces of Elegance, Sensitivity and Grace! The satin detailing and lacework...it’s as though you wove the cloth, tatted the lace and and arranged the composition of stilled movement in Its Best LIGHT! A breathtaking painting! BRAVA! To be sure, a vote! L/F

Brigitte Brigitte's Rose Garden
How could I not be moved by your elegant and romantic artwork and prose, dear Carol ? My rose Snow Ballet ® claysnow, is a very reliable ground cover rose, bred by W.Clayworth, in New Zealand. The rose is mostly white, with fragrance, and a romantic cupped bloom form. I grow several of them as tree roses. You know how much I love ballet (although I never took dance classes, and can't dance) and that I attend many ballets at Paris Opera Ballet, so your story is like a fairy tale, which means a lot to me. In roses and in ballet, there is so much Light and Beauty which can enlighten a life forever. Thank you for your inspired artwork, your special and creative skills, dear friend:o)

Brigitte, I'm so glad you enjoyed this artwork. You and your roses are very inspiring to me and I know roses and ballet are part of your soul.
