The Notes Explode
The notes explode
from the room on the right
like a flock of startled sparrows
landing everywhere
I pick up all that I can to take them in
and they make me smile
music was born in nature
in the singing leaves
given voice from the passing winds
in the pounding thunder
the baritone beat that clings to it's lightning
and the rhythm is always
where the ocean meets the shore
the stringed instruments hang
in the room on the right
with all their beautiful potential
silent and still
beside a ticking wall clock
playing it's only song
a steady ancient soundtrack
no matter the script
or it's actors
a lesson ends with a deal
it's a sticker for a promise to practice
then the departing laughter
this place has me busting
as the flock gathers back together again
