She painted her nails in a shade of red,
Trusting the powers of colour;
And faded her pains to a new-found joy,
When minutes paused in a way….
She picked on her steps from tap to a dance,
Matching rhythms of heart and soul,
Rising energies and rinsing shades,
And fading into her new-found Self,
When minutes paused in a way….
