DEGAS' DANCERS

several women in blue
dresses float
and dance
like soft new angels
across a large canvas

my paltry words
on this page
cannot convey
their absolute beauty

the mind is ravished,
awakened it sprays
and it spills
waterfalls of delight

the thrill they give me
day after day

thank you Degas
you who married
the light
and painted its play

your azure poem
graces the wall
has once and
for all become
the best sun
in our sky.
