Joanna Daniel Poet Lento

Flute

"Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody."
                                   ~ Rumi

Play the flute of felicity
Convey the melody of joy
Sway with the rhythm of gaiety
Allay all fears, all doubts destroy

Vibrate the air with your tempo
Create the beat for your flute song
Relate your passion with gusto
Captivate them with cadence strong

Replay this magical moment
Display your finesse that lingers
Portray your symphony intent
Slay them with fast moving fingers

Generate a heart-tugging tune 
Indicate your mirth through the flute
Fascinate the crowd with your boon
Radiate ecstasy acute



Form: Double Lento
