Model
She whirls nimbly
in the shimmer of light
She spins and dances
about to take flight
eyes sparkle
smile glows
arms move
in graceful pose
All those around
are dazed and disarmed
All that know her
are carefully charmed
eyes flutter
smile fades
arms move
to self embrace
Then photographer and fans
leave her side
Then, like a chameleon,
she struggles to hide
eyes close
smile gone
arms move
now all alone
