life as a symphony

the audience mills about
some take a seat
the great hall of life
the orchestra tunes up
near painful the sound
moans and drones a tone
cacophony
each instrument contributes
in disharmony
moistened lips
mouths become wet
fingers and arms taught
closer now the conductor arrives
acknowledging each section
in silent role call
he taps the podium
hush stills the room
everyone attention
electric fills the air
poised for the moment
his arms call the cue

triangle chime begins and kisses the air
harp joins in with heavenly sighs
kettle drum now thundering the dawn
adding the oboes and cellos
quivering bows
pulled into the lower vibration
deep and mysterious sounds

violins add a quicker pace
picking and plucking
then full on strokes
raising crescendo
vibrations levitate

cuing the brass
full frontal assault
precision of formation
attack, attack

spun into tympani
dizzying swirl
percussion and strings
join in the forces

gentle woodwind
high note of flute
caresses the cheek
assures harmony

piano and organ
heighten the light
all is a part
in the symphony of life
