Old has been replaced with new163Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKCCN2M8v
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces163Please respect copyright.PENANA5HphasHCWd
That are both familiar and loved163Please respect copyright.PENANA7rqUf26fbq
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all163Please respect copyright.PENANA2gxUoc1vbQ
Her smile is brilliant163Please respect copyright.PENANAPdFzYcMfgq
Her heart is radiant163Please respect copyright.PENANAUq4SvpVXx3
Her tears are invisible163Please respect copyright.PENANAiBC9QyL66M
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red163Please respect copyright.PENANAoiLko083gQ
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?163Please respect copyright.PENANARw2VzfkJgI
Do you hear her laughter163Please respect copyright.PENANAbuq2bn2oAf
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?163Please respect copyright.PENANAzvwBOhdDPC
Do you even notice her?
She163Please respect copyright.PENANAi16h3PKgFl
With her (barely) worn smile163Please respect copyright.PENANAlLDXdtyFeA
She163Please respect copyright.PENANA1LM1LJw2yw
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements163Please respect copyright.PENANAiQWHk4IrPN
She163Please respect copyright.PENANAbzYsQDurYo
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing163Please respect copyright.PENANAmsuksA88c6
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were163Please respect copyright.PENANAjUeaqi3EOs
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another163Please respect copyright.PENANAdSde7G18K9
Though they will never find another quite like her
