The lights come on,

The Violins play,

And I see her spin

Like a dry leaf coming down in the wind.

I'm scared...

But know that the tree is tall enough,

I know that another wind would blow

And let her spin further

Before she hits the ground.

Red ribbons in both hands;

Opening like a rose

Kissed by a dew,

Embraced by the warm sun;

Flourishing...

The lights change

And yet she goes on;

Her body like clay on the wheel

Gently being shaped into a mythical figure;

A warrior,

An empress with a torch.

The lights come on,

The Violins play,

And I see her spin

Like a dry leaf coming down in the wind.
