Tiny dancer, John Lyons (40 x 40 cm, oil on canvas)

Tiny dancer
a shape that shifts

effortlessly
through the air

Over land or sea
a silhouette gliding

through space
The exuberance

of movement
to time and yet

timeless
We hear the music

in our imagination
the dancer advances

in leaps and bounds
under desert blue skies

All is revealed
where masks are worn

where love never tires
and faith is never lost

John Lyons
