The Free Symphony

The moon is up on the horizon
Through the clouds the night sky seen, blue as day
In my mind, I gaze upon a celestial symphony
each element has its part to play in the musicality

The moon lay low, instructing, composing
Rising in crescendo until it hits its peak

The clouds tempo, fast paced yet steady
The layers intertwined, providing a sense of the unknown

The stars twinkle in quarters, eighths, and sixteenths
Comets - crashing cymbals, full blown horns

The wind resembling strings in multitude
giving a sense of surrounding --- profounding

And I am the audience, front row, center
of a show that should be sold out every night
Yet - like so many things - it goes unappreciated, by most
It is not up for reviews, won't be out on DVD

It is the world around the things that consume us.

So, please, buy a ticket to this celestial symphony,
It could put things in perspective, make you think about humility

But hear the music, write your Own words,
Go to sleep with a song.
Then wake tomorrow - deep breath - step out of bed
And see how life is when you go through your day,
with the universe stuck in your head.

"I gaze upon a celestial symphony each element has its part to play in the musicality"....that part was incredible. Okay for sure this one has to be my favorite so far. Wonderful!!
