Play It Musician

First it flashed 

Like a ball of fire

Heels hitting the ground with lust

Applauses mixed into the night

Drums, cymbals and oboes

A hand spreads

Like a marble in the air

Fingers painting the sky

And a pinch of a smile 

Play it musician!

Play it a bit more!

Let the sand mix into the dance

Let the red dress fly with the wind

Sing musician, with your foggy voice

Sing to the stars

Blinking one after another.

Oh, musician...

Play it now.

There is yet lots

Lots of happiness to share!
