Bolero Mi Amore

Bolero builds in intensity, the interplay of instruments crescendoing; soft to loud. Ravel’s music haunting my dreams Chimera of swells crashing, Everest ever-reaching for God’s palm. The texture of a piece of art — layer upon layer of a singular sunset. A flute of tangerine, clarinet - cluster of grapes, strawberry-bassoon, then the e-flat clarinet. Add the solo oboe d’amore — life and love from Eden ‘til now, the delightful garden vaingloriously springs up trumpets of red. Ravel’s music haunting my dreams. Chimera of swells crashing, Everest ever-reaching for God’s palm. Shall I name them all one by one? The crescendoing, the crashing, each lovely creature has a name and the symphony soars; we see them climb up the stairs, into the stars. One thinks Ravel’s still playing, adding in the orchestra pit clouds, for we must know there is an ever burgeoning stand of instruments. Ravel’s music haunting my dreams Chimera of swells crashing, Everest ever-reaching for God’s palm. 1/20/2020
