Standing amidst all, in a gaudy gala of the masquerade
Leaving lies of the light, he seeks truth of the shade
He walks silently, within the shadows pitch black
With swiftly paced steps, unstopping in the track
His glance scribe a story, for each untold question
And foretell mute prophecy, for all ignored commotion
Sees heads with dozen masks, but no faces underneath
All eyes toiling to smile, all hearts struggling to breathe
Dreams of their future, are nightmares of his days old
And their sobs of tomorrow, he sighs them today cold
So he breaks the fourth wall, and then shouts out mute
Looks up and asks Him, a reason for the act so rude
But skies still were all silent, as they always have been
Just puzzles without hints, veiling whatever they mean
Dejected he shut his eyes, and let out solitary tear sad
With deep breaths in, he muted the world around mad
And then only he found it, as lone lamp in the mist
Beauty worth all, mused on the strings of that soloist
Leaning in a corner, the music played as soothing smile
Still crowd rushed on, miser for a moment worthwhile
Pulled with tipsy eyes, he forgot all that's been wrong
Soloist handed him a fiddle, told to go and play along
So he chose another nook, with the fiddle in his hand
And played his heart's song, doing magic without wand
So he too played for thirsty ears, uncaring if yours or mine
Enjoying the dance now smiling, at the hidden humor divine.
