“The Snow Maiden” A Poem

 

 The Snow Maiden

The Snow Cascaded, Swirled and Blew
In the Magical Kingdom
Of the Land of Snow;

Amidst the Snow Flakes and Fairies,

The Snow Maiden Dances,

Twirling on Pointed Toes

From Moonbeam to Shadow;

Her Silhouette we followed 

From Forest to Meadow;

Snow and Ice are Her Friends,

The Coated White Earth is her Floor;

Center Stage from Heaven

The Stars Shine on Her,

Seeking no other;

She is the Snow Maiden

Graceful and Fair,

In her Fairy White Dress

With Star Light in her Hair;

Dancing in Bliss

With no Worries or Cares,

Delicate and Graceful

From Finger Tip to Toe,

She's Eloquent to Behold;

Her Eyes Sparkles like Crystals,

Amidst the Snow Fairies and Sprites,

She Waltzes in Solace

With Mystical Delight;

From Winter's Breath She Sprang

Twirling and Dancing in the Chilled Air

Through the Forest and the Fields

The Wind Whispers her name,

Brilliant and Translucent, Crystal

The Maiden of Heaven's White Veil.

Dancer Crystal Michelle Fallin - “I Look for You in the Stars”

Only from the heart you can touch the sky and shine like the brightest star.

Crystal Michelle Fallin

Lyrical/Modern Dancer

Heart Light

I look for you in the stars

Wondering how you are

Are you looking on from afar?

How beautiful it must be where you are.

Your heart light always shined bright

Like the brightest star

So I know you’re twinkling in the stars

And everywhere we go

You’re guiding us with your light

within your heart.

Waltz of the Snowflakes

Crystal Michelle Fallin danced as a Demi-Soloist in Waltz of the Snowflakes in the St. Augustine Nutcracker Ballet at Flagler College Auditorium, December 1997. 

"From winter's breath she came

Twirling and dancing in the chilled air;

Through the forest and the fields

The wind whispers her name,

Brilliant and translucent...Crystal

The maiden of heaven's white veil."

(Excerpt from The Snow Maiden)

Waltz of the Snowflakes 

The Choreography

The Waltz includes sixteen dancers working in concert to present a unified dance and music experience. The dancers work together weaving about to create a huge rotating ice crystal on the forest floor. They split into groups of four making smaller snow crystals, and fly across the stage in solo leaps. Twirling and swirling and twisting and turning as the snowflakes fall to the earth or as the solo dancers move around the stage. In the last third of the Waltz, the dancers work solo and flash across the forest floor in a repetitive barrage of leaps. The dancers enter from a back-stage corner and move to the opposite front corner. Each dancer following another as the previous exits stage right or left. They leap or perform jetés midway through the stage. The dancers leap is free and flowing much as the wind tosses stray snowflakes from the top of a fence post piled high with newly fallen snow.

A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE

She was a little bit of sunshine,
She had a smile to light your days,
She would steal your heart and 
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's my precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who filled our years with laughter
and our lives with lots of love.

The Snow Maiden

 

The Snow Maiden

The Snow cascaded, swirled and blew,

in the Magical Kingdom

Of the Land of Snow;

Amidst the snow flakes and fairies.

The Snow Maiden dances,

Twirling on pointed toes

From moonbeam to shadow;

Her silhouette we follow

From forest to meadow;

Snow and ice are her friends,

The coated white earth is her floor;

Center stage from heaven

The stars shine on her,

Seeking no other;

She is the Snow Maiden

Graceful and fair,

in her fairy white dress

With star light in her hair;

Delicate and graceful

From finger tip to toe,

She's eloquent to behold;

Her eyes sparkles like Crystals

Amidst the snow fairies and sprites

She waltzes in solace

With mystical delight;

From winter's breath she came

Twirling and dancing in the chilled air;

Through the forest and the fields

The wind whispers her name,

Brilliant and translucent...Crystal

The maiden of heaven's white veil.
