Waits in the wings
calm, still
listens to the music
her silent tongue
taught her eyes to speak volumes
Silence, a petty one
dips, turns
enthralled, she cajoles
with her friend
making exception for only her
The choir girl
shrill, loud
is moved by the music
loses time
silence is enraged, sound engulfs...
The mistress raises a single fist.
Envious silence roars,
is appeased
moves with the music
resumes her dance
with her long time friend.
