A Heavenly Valentine 

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have this wish I wish tonight.

“I wondered lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth - “She Dances with the Daffodils”

Dancing with the daffodils

Crystal Michelle Fallin, Artist, Dancer, Writer, Free Spirit

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

“May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest” Shakespeare

“Rejoice in the Dance”

Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.

Jeremiah 31:13

Dancing Story Teller

Crystal Michelle Fallin, Dance Artist

“Lovely” A Poem

 

All that made you

 fragile and fierce;

clever and powerful;

wounded and creative;

layered and thoughtful;

moody and insightful;

wild and damaged,

Can be described in

One single word:

Lovely…

“A Soul who knew how to Dance”

 She always had that way about her.

With a heart that knew depths

Beyond this world, eyes that saw

The beauty in all things and a

Soul that just knew how to dance.
