Why would you catch a firefly
Or dust over long residing footprints
Why would you freeze a moonbeam
Or cage a wandering soul
Why would you batter down stars
Or play quietly a fortissimo piece
Why would you paint the rainbow monochrome
Or smash through truthful mirrors
Why would you turn away a young spirit
Or break a lonely heart
Why would you tamper with beauty
In the state where it is natural?
