I glide like a swan shimmering,
With the first rays of the sun peeping on the stream,
The show rolls on and crowds start pouring in.
The viewers get lost in my grace and the swings
I am up in the air and down on the ground
I float like a white cloud gracefully
Beneath the sheet of cold ice
This is my story
Unheard to many, only they know me as an epitome of beauty
Some come here to watch the enigma I unveil
None knows me completely,
They come here to watch the show, and when it is over, they all will go
There is a loud applause and aplomb
My admirers are attracted to this grace and poise
I wonder who loves the artist inside me with true sincerity
Ask me and I will give you an answer no one honestly,
If someone has really felt me,
My friends it is the ice below,
Where some of my rolling tears have frozen
Some were of glee and sometimes when my mind was perturbed,
Some sordid tears fell out of sorrow
I fly like a bee
It is nothing but a myriad flight of fancy
Sometimes during the practice lessons,
I have fallen on this cold ice below
It has felt me with warmth and even comforted me
Once the stage is set, and the background score begin,
The spotlight is over me, I am ready for the embellish glide
I am off in the flight of my fancy
It gives me a feeling I have reached the sky
