This is a poem about making promises to yourself, promises to keep your dreams alive. I am not entirely happy with what I wrote, so I might try to rewrite this later.
Promises in the moonlight
/
Starting with adagio, he slowly rises with grace
Letting the butterfly of unfulfilled dreams balance on his fingertips
As he perfectly executes a cabriole, he leaves the chains of promises behind
And leaps into a future where he follows his heart’s design
/
In the silence of the night
He pirouettes under the moonlight
In the silence of the moonlight
He promises to not let others control his life
