Master the Staff

Two souls dancing closer apart

Met with one timing right

One wrong convinced

Longing to end the notes

And the dance to be done

To answer to the conductor.

When the nocturne is finished

And away are the pieces

To clear the stage

Begins the composition of anew

To combine the metronomes

And correct the timing

To master the staff

And clef the emotion

In finale, to bring the hearts to key.
