For Hikaru, because 1: She's a genius and 2: I owe her for that epic story she just posted cx Btw, I've only ever posted my free-verse, and not any of my actual poetry (none of it was even about a fandom) so this is something a little new! YAY!

I don't own mini-ninjas (sad, isn't it?)

He sees her dancing

Raven hair flowing

Sunlit and Beautiful

Her partners twirling around her, golden and free

(And he is only a little jealous of them)

[ ]

For a moment he is lost

Caught up in her beauty

Afraid to move, to breathe

Afraid to break this mirage of perfection

And suddenly he remembers

[]

Remembers days that were not so lost—

Days of watching her

Watching her jump and twirl

Her partner was ridged then (yet she could make him beautiful)

Until the mirage was broken by falling trees

[]

There are no more days of youth now

Yet there is also no more darkness

And with this in mind, he approaches her

Breaks the mirage, making it real

And holds out another partner for her

[]

In the meadow of flowers and grass

Where darkness no longer lies and only wind remains

A young man saw a twirling woman

Handed her a golden flower

And joined her in her wind dance

Ugh. FF wouldn't let me group my lines-it just puts one space between every line. Hence the brackets. *Head desks*
