Ahmad Shiddiqi - Balance

(dedicated to Ellie Sutton)

Just enjoy some time to yourself
Stop looking for something to do
Make sure you indulge yourself
Whatever you do with the time

It’s time to expand your horizons
And recognize your talents
You really need some peace
There has to be a balance

(inspired by Ravel’s Laideronnette, imperatrice des pagodes)
