"Dreaming on Ice" Inspired by An Unlikely Pair:

Dreaming on Ice

Those who dance on ice

are flawless.

Not a hair out of place,

light sparkling off their auras,

attention glued to their grace.

Soaring to their dreams

looks effortless.

They’re in time with the music,

they connect with the audience,

they land confidently.


Everything about being on ice

terrifies me.

Blades are poised

on every foot -- including my own --

and I can’t trust

that I won’t fall and get hurt.

My dreams of grace and elegance

are dashed by my fear.

But, if dreaming was easy,

landing wouldn't be as rewarding.
