La Danse du Printemps – The Springtime Dance
One spring day in a forest in France, Giselle laid flowers where she and Mama once
danced. Mama used to pirouette around the lilac trees. Giselle smudged away
tears, thinking of her mother's ballet:
those leaping jetés,
the quick-stepped piqués,
the tippytoe pas de bourrées.
“Mama, I miss
you and La Danse du Printemps.”
Then the breeze whispered: Giselle.
“Oui, ma chèrie.
Yes, my dear.”
“I am sad
without you.”
“Je suis
toujours avec toi. I am always with you.”
“But I feel
lost.”
Leaves unfurled and rustled. Treetops flowered. Lavender blooms perfumed the air.
Mama’s voice sailed
through the breeze and Giselle rose to her feet.
Jeté.
Piqué.
Pas de bourrée.
Giselle felt as
light as a petal, pirouetting a lilac ballet.
