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, /Kit |

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. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
