Gliding Princess
By Laura Zucca-Scott
You were gliding
Dancing gracefully
Sparkling eyes
A princess in disguise
At Cinderella's ball
Every girl's dream
Or so they say
The rhythm changed
But not the glow
Daring and bold
In youthful bliss
The lights were shining
Burning slowly
In that winter night
Before the fire consumed it all
Now the dream continues
In your daughter's gaze
Remote, yet stronger than ever
Laura Zucca-Scott's most recent poem to appear here was Furiously listening, published as part of Contributor Series: If Men Had Ears.

The princess is lovely. I could see her every move when the lights fell upon her.
