The Color of Music

The color of music shows up
    like a rainbow 
    in my mind.
The color of music is black
    and white too,
    like night and day.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star,
    How I wonder what you are?"
You are light & arrows of beauty,
    both particle and wave
    and direction.
So you are what I dance to -
    so you make me feel alive -
    so we are electric lovers.
And I have the freedom
    to do any music I want,
    in my country -
    my country of depth.
So I do deep,
   and also spooky and dark
   and miraculous.
The color of my music is black
    and white too.
    I do night and day.
The color of music shows up
    like a rainbow
    in my mind.
So you are what I dance to -
    so you make me feel alive -
    so we are electric lovers.
