wear your power lightly, child
what you see distressing you is density
it’s not your home, your source or style
wear your power lightly, child
like vapour pass through mayhem, wild,
unencumbered—nothing less is mastery!
wear your power lightly, child
what you see distressing you is density
ii
adore the angles of a perfect fit
enjoy the heathered slope, the wind-blessed sea
the best do what they do for fun of it
enjoy the heathered slope, the wind-blessed sea
trace avenues of gold and chocolate
only you can shape your destiny
adore the angles of a perfect fit
enjoy the heathered slope, the wind-blessed sea
iii
when the silence comes to call
make room for him, your dearest friend
push come to shove can only fall
when the silence comes to call
reminding you the great enthrall
is what creates and knows no end
when the silence comes to call
make room for him, your dearest friend

The painting is by Polish Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980).
What a life she lived! It’s worth checking out her bio.
