Finalist in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

I was swept into the darkness,
My head a spinning whirl,
I’m dancing in the spotlight doing my ballerina twirl.
My dress the colour of sapphires,
Shining in the rain,
When I look up at the stars, they seem to call my name.
I’ve been swept into a different world,
My head spinning once again,
I sit up, and feel around, and find a familiar friend.
Its fluffy legs, its floppy ears,
Its wet and shiny nose,
My little pup is on my bed, curled up at my toes.
