Encore

Encore

Cold metal touches my lips
Breathe
Fingers extend
Breathe 
Chatter from the audience
Fills my ears
Breathe
Lights from above 
Blind me
Breathe
Baton
Moves up 
Breathe
Up 
Down
Breathe
Tempo
Dit-Dit-Dit
Breathe
Drums sneer at me
Breathe
An explosion 
Of sound 
Fills the ears
Breathe
A harmony
A symphony
Breathe
Tubas 
Low and booming
Breathe
Trombones and Trumpets
Extending each
Note with ethereal beauty
Breathe
Clarinets 
Blessing the note
With delicacy
Breathe
Flutes
An island of paradise
Enters with the grace 
Of a dove
Breathe
Swooning 
At the pitched
Mountain of sound
Breathe
Waves 
Hit the audience
With the delicacy of a mother
Breathe
Enveloping them 
With the evolving mood
Ominous 
To Joyous
Crescendo
Breathe 
Clapping booms
In my ears 
Stamping of feet
Deafening 
Yet craved
Yet beloved
Baton rises
Once more
Once again
Symphony 
Overwhelms 
All thoughts
All emotion
Breathe
