A Performance lyrics

Behold as the curtains come to open

An actor appears as if uncertain

He stands before a magnificant audience

To his reach is beheld a graceful beauty

A beauty to behold, within and without

His heart sings with a joyous chorus

Though his speech crackles as fading fire

He walks to her as if treading cautiously

Upon polished optics in care not to disturb

The anxiety lures upon a trapeze

The tightwire of a perilous pursuit

Her eyes softly settle frayed nerves

A peace of mind engulfs him

What shall she expect of me?

Or what shall I expect too of her?

Yet there is something alluring

Something special to this gem

Yet no jewel knows her goodness

Nor the sweetness of her voice

Nor the elegance of her manner

He reaches slowly to touch her

Step by step all so very cautious

To find that a tenderness dazzles

A heart so true as if noble knight

Vowed on a sacred quest

His emotions open abundantly

As if the morning glorys at dawn

Will then he be recieved?

Or rejected and cast afar

The heavy word can crack the heart

A wound open to bleed freely

To extinguish the life within

And then to turn to coldest stone

Yet to the heart she may be welcomed

As if a frigid stranger hoping for warmth

A shadow of enduring solitude prevails

Though a warm smile thaws his soul

The stranger knows many wisdoms

Each taught to enhance the being

Understanding and understood

But then the tale grows of length

Perhaps to run on as the waters

Of the tumbling, meandering brook

That looks uncertain of its destiny

Yet reaches its goal round about

All this the actor reveals

All this his companion views

The play that is never to end

Though the outcome is unsure

Its conclusion is of curious detail

To be yet enacted by the players

For it is in themselves that lies the final act

The summation of tragedy of fairytale
