Art of Puppet

Wear the mask
Silence the mouth
Pick up the pace
And save your grace
Carefully walk
Blended with dark

Sense in the skin
Use your instinct
Hand string pair
No breath in air
Feel the melody
Loose the body

The glance of head
The simple act
The rhythm play
The journey tale
Express mimics
Shadow light magic

Broken marionette
Heart’s facet
Clumsy clown
In circus town
Forgotten toys
A moment of dream

Master’s tool
Obey his goal
Eyes have soul
But frozen freedom
So take a bow
Don’t make to slow

The curtain’s call
The death of doll
