    A puppets dream

    Dancing and weaving along the stage
    Taught to dance
    To unwritten tunes
    The hand passing it's knowledge
    To the everlasting figure,
    That's how I looked at you,
    I could't see a body for your hand
    Only fingers streaming across strings
    Expressing pain or pleasure
    Through a casual swish,
    And, at night, when you sleep
    We wake and play our music
    Living the life we dreamt of
    When we were hanging from the beams
    Waiting for our master
    To trap us in his snare
    And trap us to your desires
    So we dance our new tunes
    And wander where we can
    Across the polished floor
    Sliding from end to end
    A foot at most, to move around
    An inch between us and the floor
    So small yet this is my prison
    And its brand of walls
    Your strings, ne're ending
    The end

    I found this so imaginative. I forgot they were puppets.This is a phenomenal picture. I just cannot find anymore words!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
