Dance of a Lifetime

Sand and dust shifted beneath my feet, hot from the sun that glared high in the sky, it's burning rays catching on the curves and waves of the orange scarf that I waved above my head, a ribbon of fire. I twisted, bending low and spun upwards, the black coils of my hair gleaming onyx, the beads braided throughout it gleaming like gold as I spun and spun, dancing to the music in my soul, taking me higher and higher. I raised my arms to the sky, catching the sun in my scarf, a glowing orb trapped between my outstretched arms.
