Aliferous (Achievement #45 = 2 points) (angel picture)

She was a beauty, with nimble toes,

A ballerina with poise and grace;

Slides smooth as a calm river flows,

Gliding in flurry of silk and lace,

She was the queen of the ballet shows.

Life was a ballet, plie to piqué,

She danced to the music in her veins;

No step was tough, not even the fouetté,

As she sweated through aches and pains,

Mastering chaînés, pirouette and grand jeté

She spins and soars, like a bird in flight,

Elegant swan on a crystal lake,

A rising star, with a future bright,

The ballet kingdom was hers to take,

So she ruled, till the fateful night.

A tiny lapse, a second too late,

Her new partner missed a single beat,

Pas de deux, and a spin turned to skate,

Shattered bone and stunned silence did meet,

A deadly blow dealt by cruel fate.

Unable to dance, resentment springs,

For she is a bird who cannot fly,

A fallen angel with broken wings,

Taken from her glory in the sky,

Exiled to a world where no hope sings.
