Maestro

Living tangents preclude my every thought of you.
Should I be as a clavichord absorbed into rhythmic play?
Reverberating against a brass string, a fanfare melodic tune.
Or should I be that tympani, understood silently, to gently stay…

What genius thought should pass through my mind?
What keyed fret or tensioned reed will sustain my note to play?
Should I exit stage right, or stage left, or freeze in stage fright?
Or be center stage, become a prop, and happily content stay?

With my bow in hand, Stradivarius beneath my chin,
I fake in “Meditation from Thias” by Albert Stern,
and continue to pretend…

Hmmm... Something tells me that you have a background in music!

Beautifully written! Play on maestro! I like the way you orchestrated your words!

Well...

As Pee-Wee would say
"Thanks... haha!"

You all are really too kind.

But thank you very, very much.
