Outcast Orphan
Orphan - Outcast
Orphan – outcast –
Cast out on a cold night
Looks through crystal windows
At a gala –
Shut out with a
Stamp of banish
Crimson mark
Pizzicatos of dishonor
Dancing in stains
From
Music’s lyrics
Waltz rhythms
Tangos tintinnabulations;
Now a phantom – but a clarion –
Haunting footprints of inspiration
To slip past spirits – an apparition –
Shadow wraith, always known,
Till midnight’s magic carillon
Summons back orphan ghost,
Still living,
Join this ball –
Samba, tango, rock and roll -
Hand of invitation
Join again royal rollicking.
