The Symphony

A musical of different intruments.

The lights are dimmed to a soft glow.

Conductor takes the stage.

Audience takes their seats.

Noise fades into silence as the conductor

raises his baton.

The Symphony begins.

 

Keys from the piano play a melodious tones,

keeping in ryhthm with the other instruments.

 

The violinists clinch bow in hand as it

strums the four strings.

Music flows effortlessly.

 

Fingers gracefully pluck the harp.

 Harmony of music fills the coliseum.

 

The clarinet sounds beautiful and peaceful.

Affection for the music stirs audience to tears.

 

The trombone, trumpet and tuba take their turn

in the symphony.

Cries of an elephant can be heard as the

trumpet plays.

 

A flame from a lighter flickers in the dark

as it dances to the bounty of music.

The sound of the instruments soothe

the listeners to awe.

This just reminded me of a quote from my drama teacher said before lol "All the world's a stage, and all men and women are created equal, They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being of seven ages" - As You Like It

Hidden message in there ;)

I agree with your poem. When music is played with skill and beauty. Can take you away to a better place. I like how you described each instrument and allowed the reader to fall into the music. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Your words reminded me of the joyous symphony that sings over us each day.. the song of life that drifts around us if we'll but listen. Beautiful imagery you bring alive.
