And on foot she walked
Telling tales on the tips of her toes
Weaving stories with her body
Across the polished floor
With a smile on her face
And all the while
Her feet bled
Inside the sacred shoes.

I love your use of alliteration in the second line! What really stands out to me is the juxtaposition of her performing this beautiful elegant dance, yet bleeding on the inside of the shoes where nobody can see.

Thank you so much for another inspiring and beautiful post. It reminded me of my childhood. I used to do ballet, not gracious at all but loved it.
