The Lady Dances (To Mary Ohno, My dear friend and Kabuki performer)
I could wish you translucent moonbeams to light up the stage as your graceful footsteps lead the way
Or,release crystal clear doves to land in the palms of your white gloves,
to hold you still, and settle your life peacefully
I could give you strength in a spiral of bright, as it travels toward you to chase,or to follow
I could lead you to take a new chance, as you poise yourself
Untangle,and unwrap the music around you and begin to dance again.
