Symphony

04/14/2008

In the amphitheater the people await
Under the moonlight the orchestra stands
In the silence he raises his hands
To commence with those magical wands

The musicians stand on their instruments
Like the confident knights in the battlefield
Their faces have a steely focus
Those of artists who will never yield

The first sounds set
The tone for the evening
As they harmonize together
Giving symphony its meaning

Decisiveness in every stroke
Clarity in every note
Their unison creates
Music that makes one float

The grandeur and its brilliance is
A statement of sophistication
The rise and the fall of tempo
Is a surge of emotion

Then in the final moment
They reach their peak
As it culminates in a flourish
You are left with more to seek
