Analysis of Black Ballet Dancers
Black ballet dancers;
Each dressed in windswept gray.
Black ballet dancers;
The opera of ebony skies.
Black ballet dancers;
Called lightning to their stage.
Black ballet dancers;
Trees as tambourines, rain as their percussion.
Black ballet dancers;
Danced to heaven’s orchestrated rhythm.

About this poem
A poem that could completely change the way you look at thunderstorms. It’s about a grieving person who thought his pain will never end, tried to ease his sorrow by seeking joy in calamities. While others feared the violent thunderstorm, he saw it as soothing black ballet dancers performing in the opera of the dark sky, carefree, enjoying delightfully.
