For Lucia

When pensive I focus my thought on you
Tracing casket to cradle I picture
A rose reaching out to the sun's bright hue
A dance sadly stolen from the dancer
Oh ! to have seen you perform in Paree

Or the poems which now no longer exist
He saw the spark of an artist in thee
And I believe that it should not be missed
But the armour of shining scales you wore
Was claimed and corroded by the season
The rainbow girl whom he so much adored
His daughter his muse his inspiration
You danced for the dance an art with no aim
But to be free as a child plays a game

John Nola, for Lucia
