When Juniper Goes Dancing

When Juniper goes dancing through the velvet night,
Her burgundy dress swirls like wine in starlight,
Each ruffle catches cosmic dust and dreams,
While Saturn's rings spin golden at the seams.

She pirouettes on paths of meteor trails,
Her shadow-dark hair flowing like comet tails,
The universe becomes her ballroom floor,
Where gravity can't hold her anymore.

See how she lifts one leg in graceful arc,
Creating constellations in the dark—
Her scarlet boots tap rhythms on the void,
Where silence and symphony are both employed.

The planets pause their ancient, steady course
To watch her move with otherworldly force,
She dances not for mortals down below,
But for the stars that only she can know.

Her dress blooms outward like a nebula's birth,
Too wild and free for ordinary earth,
Each fold contains a galaxy unseen,
Each step creates a space that's in between.

When Juniper goes dancing with the night,
She wears the cosmos like a second sight,
And those who glimpse her silhouette in space
Know magic still exists in time and place.

For she is both the dancer and the dance,
The moment when the universe takes chance,
To show that beauty needs no reason why—
Just Juniper, in burgundy, by and by.
