I'm paralysed in the darkness,
Motionless in black.
My feet crossed, my posture straight.
Hands clasped behind my back.

Suddenly in the dark,
I hear a winding sound.
The opening chords of my melody,
Vibrating beneath the ground.

The lid slowly opens,
The melody voices its chime.
For now, I am the star,
Now is my time to shine!

The tinkling chimes inspire me,
I dance, I twirl, I leap.
Never wanting to end my dance..
The music slows to a creep.

The beautiful melody cease,
My slowing motions lull me to sleep,
As the lids closes down, and darkness resumes,
I can not help but weep.
