Melody creeping along, like a river on a cold misty morning a flute sounds in the distant waters uttering soft sounds of birds Can’t you just hear the strings…. running up and down the river, enchanting all with emotion Harmonious chords working together, nature creating a musical composition. Then the storm begins the river is getting restless…. what distant voice I hear like rain on a sunny day that distant voice does not agree….. I feel the tension it speaks louder and louder, like thunder contending with lightening to see who can evoke the most fear. FORTISSIMO, the brasses are like storm waters beating the oceans bank The orchestra is fighting, fighting to be heard, the cymbals crashing….winds-- cymbals---winds again sounds are heard antiphon style suddenly all comes to a rest….. ……….silence is heard Suddenly it all has stopped… “the rain” “the birds” “storm waters”…”waves and all” finally a cadenza, that distant voice is laid to rest. The river is flowing smoothly once again… “birds chirping in beautiful lyrical voicing’s”, singing in harmony, melodies flowing together to create a musical masterpiece. (c) 1999 Janice Blocker

oh my this is Excellent. The sounds of nature coming to life interupted by Storm,, silenced as it passed, to be reborn again.
Love this Janice.
