"woodwind"

Lethargic I sit
Beneath the stage lights
In awating of breath
to bring me to life

(a verse i play,a chorus in waiting)

My notes are
Daintly gentle,
Delicately soft.

As you move up my body
With the gliss of grace,
The heart will fly
Into a crescendo of heat

Into diminished softness
I reside...
Delicately gentle,
Daintly soft

To bring life,
A breath awates.

Another delicate Free Verse, a good rule of thumb is IF there's no rhyme, label it VERSE or FREE VERSE, Light & Love

This is quite a musical piece. I can hear the melody of the music. The imagery is very interesting also. Great job! Joseph
