Glorious embodies the moment a dancer takes the stage like a storm advancing from warm waters. Irrepressibly alive, a category five, she is draped in brio and hurricane of self-rule. The off center of gravity, flow of fabric, and hair are counterbalanced by the undeniable forward facing momentum.

GLORIOUS

She is the wind, the will, and elation, 
She is the vim, the thrill, and vibration, 
From warm waters, a storm advancing,
On the world stage, a typhoon dancing.

Tectonic stirring, boundaries blurring, 
A whirlwind shattering every rule, 
She is the gale, irrepressibly alive, 
She is glorious, a category five

Draped in brio, a cyclone performing, 
In the spotlight, her physics transforming, 
Electrified breathing, amplified feeling, 
A Milky Way hurricane of self-rule.
