Negative space
Soft piano notes stream quietly into the air
Your gypsy soul knows where the roads rise.
You hide your eyes into the darkness of your hair
And rain is gently kissing your disguise.
No other soul around during this crazy race
Void to the left, a few more steps onto your right
You placed a subtle smile to counter their embrace
And space the gap with silence, this quiet, starry night.
