You Carry Me

“One, two, three…One, two, three…turn to your left. And again!”

I was there once. Feet softly touching the ground, your arms lifting me up in the air, my hands reaching for the sky. I never counted the steps, never thought about the moves. We were liquid magic, barely standing still.

“Two, two, three…Two, two, three…Release!”

I stand still now. Watching someone else dance my dreams away. The paralyzing pain comes in waves, crashing over me, leaving me breathless.

But you are here, lifting me up, whispering softly:

“One, two, three…One, two, three…Fly!”

You carry me.

    Oh Loré, that was simply beautiful.
    And thank you so much for the skating video. They are breathtaking! (Of course, they have such a marvellous coach… 😉 ) It so fun to watch with different commentators. The Scottish guy.. nice.
