Curtain Call

Her curtain call
in the gorgeous sunset
is a perfect ending

The soul of the dancer
longs for home
shrouded in the blazing afterglow …

A curtain call is a peak experience for a dancer: her performance is over, no more stress or exertion, now she can just enjoy people's praise and gratitude.But your dancer doesn't want glory and fame. She wants to retire to her home, to seek the quiet of the soul, not the excitement of the celebrity. She knows her worth as an artist and doesn't seek audience worship. She wants something larger than herself - the sunset - to fill people with awe. Of course, this dancer is human, she's an animal, who creates beauty without any need for reward. People can learn a moral lesson from this fragile creature.
