Skating

The pavement smooth as glass she glides upon

As you hear the roller-skating ski song

Her two feet move with the resplendent steel

A ballerina on toes each heel

Glissading with the wind

Along the ice-blue stream

The mountains in the distant sky are lost

Her world seems motionless in spotless frost

But she’s only moving

In this bliss, wintry dream

The stiff branches hang silent in the snow

As she glides like a bird, the winds follow

The joy she feels in flight

Never as sad as night

With speed to leave the roaming wind behind

Into the wilderness of the unkind
