Stream of Music
STREAM OF MUSIC
Tuning up and sounding a bit cacophonous
Like an orchestra as I enter the hall -
Until I identify each instrument, and all
Begins to seem just right - euphonious.
The splat of tiny timpani as pebbles click their banjo,
A rattling chuckle of tambourine stones,
The plink plonks of xylophone tones -
Are bass to the tinkling high notes on piano.
Behind our water flutes’ plops and bubbles,
Harp arpeggio’s rhythm and crescendo flow;
The drums’ roars over the hiss of zither chords slow
And the splashing cymbals wash away my troubles.
