The Melody

A different song
enters the symphony hall,
It's not an aria or a choral work,
it's much bigger,
it fills the auditorium.

Outside, on the street,
a busker plays his pennywhistle.

The orchestra and its singers
cease to study scores and song sheets...
pause to listen,

Entranced,
they let the music play on,
through the one throat
of the All.
