Passing through distant meadow, with shrieks and chirps and rustles of brush. Without sigh to this sweet moment the light has called. Gentle ease of thought and care passing on hidden stones. The orchestral commencement to rise and pass and hush. Ornate the ceiling of leaves and branch that cross to shelter the way. The glow and hue of concert lights now set the stage. With outstretched hands and baton raised the great conductor begins the praise to listen to watch and relish the day. Resounding clear and soft absent of pretention. Each note expresses hidden meaning to they that would listen. The pulsing breeze begins the song a low melodic rumble. Then high above a single note of the swallow’s harmonic solo. A gentle phrase of such delight until gracefully taken by a mournful sparrow. Ponder the movement of sky above the clouds that encompass the music hall. Each motion it seems to open a spotlight of rays upon the platform. The wooded room of open blue is crowded with anticipation. As creatures of all shapes and size draw near to contribute and listen. The motion of beats instructs the rhythm each graceful wave of the hand. The same composed the requiem of heavens one-man band. The crescendo builds with sharp thunder crash the light has gone away. Replaced by the rain of chimes each drop a dissonant phrase. The wind howls with deafening tones, the emotion made clear. Until the last note has sound and new light appears. With calming waves of subtle tones the song is near the end. Returning to the sweeter sound the chorus of grace again. The lights fade a star appears the composition to pause and the encore to begin.
