Shaking one arm off to the east
Shaking one arm off to the west
The conductor of sounds begins
Never ending remarks of beauty
Not noted by the gentle beings will
To please or to cause harmful tones

There is beauty in all the world
The conductor must bear it all
Reacting to the beauty is man's fate
Who sifted the great beyondness
Not the gentle being the harmless
The one who is blamed wreaks havoc
Through the players in the symphony
All well mastered in their trade
Guided by his wand

You've "orchestrated" your free verse beautifully Walt!  I can almost hear the sounds! Well done!

Best wishes,

Waltzing with Walt....

Such a thought provoking orchestra...
The philharmonics will be proud to have a few of such conductors... and even the Gods will be happy....

regards,
sudhir

Walt~
Now THIS is a great line ~

'Who sifted the great beyondness'

What an image is conjured.
I enjoyed this piece.
