Confidence

October 21, 2024

It was late in October

The Spring colors fading

The Summer winds departing

It is the season of change

People will prepare for the cold

Today the temperature reached 80

The Sun boldly gave another perfect day

People gave this Sunday

One last standing ovation

One woman gave so much more

She wore what was not in style

She did not care if you cared

She danced to her own tune

In a field of Fall’s best

Giving as good as she got

What music lingered in her mind

To ignore the thralls of her critics

And subdue their disparaging banter?

What heart must beat

To lead hundreds on the verge of emulation?

Her confidence soared quantitatively

As did the crowd in close proximity

But alas, those that wanted to break free the most

Were those who moved the least

And a calling became merely a performance

But what a performance!

Worthy of the time well spent

Filed as a memory of many

Remembering one

Instead of one remembering many
