Desiree, the trapeze artist

Everyone was chattering about the zany clown who had just ended his performance. Each and every person in the public was anxious to see the next performance offered by Circus Mondao. Then, all of a sudden the hum of excitement stopped and the lights went off for a moment. Everybody was wondering who will be the next performer to amaze them. After the introduction made by the ringmaster, gracefully entered the ring Desiree, the trapeze artist. She was quite tall, fit and in her thirties. Had a diamond shaped face, full of make-up that covered her natural, flawless fair skin. Her sad big eyes stared into your soul, while her turned-up nose revealed her kindness, optimism and enthusiasm and wavy, shoulder-length, black hair emphasized her hazel eyes. She was wearing a synthetic red short strapless dress which had yellow tassels on the bottom and black and silver detailing around the bust area and sheer red net tights. On her head she had a red headpiece which had a bright yellow feather on top. Afterwards, she begun her performance and , though he had done it a million times, her hands were shaking like it was her first time to climb on a trapeze. The insecurity soon vanished to make room for the confidence that surrounded Desiree. She was moving gracefully into the air and the public was stunned by her performance. Her movements were dynamic and precise and she treated her job with seriousity. Her focus could not be interrupted by any noise and she calculated every move . She was relaxed and the smile on her face revealed that she enjoyed her job very much and was doing it with pleasure. A round of applause followed her performance and everyone was ecstatic, everyone but her. She had a smile on her face that could prove me wrong , but sadness could be seen in her eyes. Then, as she left the ring a tear fell on her cheek, a tear not of happiness, but of regret. Later that week I would find out why she had been so melancholic after her performance, she was fired from Circus Mondao because of her age and that was her last performance as a trapeze artist. Desiree was one of the strogest persons I have ever seen, devoted and full of life, she had learned me a valuable life lesson to follow my dreams.
