Simply beutiful descriptions. I could picture everything so vividly, and you used a nice mix of similes, metaphors, imagery, etc. to keep the writing itself interesting.

My only suggestion would be to make sure you don't use too many commas in one sentence. A few times your sentences got a bit long.

This reminded me of an old story/movie, The Red Shoes. There is a part in it where the dancer dances with a man made out of newspaper, who then crumples up and is blown away. That scene was actually a bit terrifying. Your story is like the mirror image--a feeling of lightness and hope.
