Listen to She Became by Richard Charles Stevens (Papercut Suite)
Listen to Papercut by Zedd feat. Troye Sivan
She danced with joy unbridled
Just as she had as a girl
Back when the world seemed so much smaller and more intimate
Yet infinite as though a timid rose as yet unfurled
.
Angel eyes divine
.
Glancing each petal
Her mind opened widest and whirled with the wildest abandon
Barefoot she tiptoed through random imaginings
Far away from elders with their slandering and badgering
Far from the menagerie
Blackbird wings no longer clipped
Adorned with flawless majesty
A tapestry of honour kissed
The monarch lifted mist to drift betwixt its shifting vapours
Free to reminisce amidst this unremitting labour
.
She danced with a transmissive flavour
Glanced the skies reprised of diamonds mined from mind of timeless chamber—Famed in its design
Flamed in its desire to fire the spire of the cathedral
Lick the mighty tip of needle
Make it drip the slickest treacle
Veins ablaze with ways to praise the glaze of clay domains engaged
Flaking paint from latent pain to illustrate the greater gain
Readymade for raising cain
Yet unbetrayed of hate’s decay
She danced with the appraising gaze
Of angel eyes divine
.
Angel eyes divine
Angel eyes divine
.
Faraway from space and time’s constraints and vacant chimes
Braving and invigorating tidal waves—To mount incline
Ride this slipping sliding snake
With fierce devout and fearsome pride
When She became
A nation famed her rise
Reawakened to the blaze within her eyes
.
She danced within a swelling tide
That parted in her wake
In aim to kiss the waves of telling height
And jar them wide awake
(Wide awake)
(Wide awake)
(Wide awake)
(Wide awake)
Breached with ease the seas she teased
To see them bleed their deep relief
Tamed the beast with heart ablaze
Claimed sweet release in artful ways
Immaculate of symmetry
Both light and shade her eyes conveyed
Parading twin pearl earrings flamed
The girl became a lady
.
The girl became a lady
The girl became a lady
.
Angel eyes divine

Breached with ease the seas she teased
To see them bleed their deep relief
Tamed the beast with heart ablaze
Claimed sweet release in artful ways
Immaculate of symmetry
Both light and shade her eyes conveyed

She danced with joy unbridled
Just as she had as a girl
Back when the world seemed so much smaller and more intimate

She danced with joy unbridled

“Ride this slipping sliding snake

Love this line. It says so much about myself and others as magical people in this world ❤️🔥
Wonderful work, uplifting and elating. I can’t dance with my feet so I dance with my arms like that lovely scene in Gregory’s Girl 🥰
