Shattered Tones

From a G-clef in her throat
Came a sad harmonious sigh
And then a clumsy sharp note
Made her laugh and cry

Tap, tap, shoe clap
Rhythm wanted in
Step, turn, skip, hop
They made her smile again

Happily now she runs along
Up a broken glittery ladder
Don't let her go for long
Or she'll be lost forever

Then she hums the Habanera
And she dances with her ghosts
She recorded it on paper
So the moment is never lost

Hush, don't make a sound
Now she's tired and asleep
Don't awaken the fiends she bound
They too are too tired to creep

She's yet to tame her ghouls
So don't go near to give them food
When she rules over them lost souls
They too will sing and dance along

No, she is never alone
Her ghouls and ghosts will learn
To offer flat notes and shattered tones
And with it she will create
The best melody there is
For all of them to enjoy.
