Alone in silence I stand
All in front all dressed in black
The moon gazes at my hands
As a judge watches from behind…
A-screw the silence shatters
-As a ballerina shatters space-
While you shatter with it
Melodies for days
Alone in silence I stand
All in front dressed in white
As you gaze upon me
As I smile at the wind in the night sky
How the day has come
Dreams have I dreamed
Of this moment for many days, weeks and years
Alone in silence I stand
In front of me all in red
As we do what we love
On this day of all days
December I think it may
be the day of destiny
as I paint the melodies
in black, white and red
to all the audience away
As we dress the night
In the most amazing shade of gray…
