Winter 2007 (Jan Feb Mar)
A Balinese Dancer  

by Carmen Henesy

Exotic and alluring,
Each movement casts its spell,
Evoking myths and legends,
Such dramas she can tell.  

Swaying to the melodies,
She drops down to the floor,
With so much grace and beauty,
It makes one's spirits soar.  

She twirls in a flash of color,
Midst temple rhythms old,
Wrapped in brightest brocades,
Flecked in sparkling gold.  

Exquisite and dainty,
Her hands have much to say,
As she beckons to a lover,
Then bows her head to pray.  

Her dances tell the stories,
Of Bali and its past,
Giving the world a picture, 
Of a culture unsurpassed.
