My rhino can play the flute
And is good at the maracas to boot
Alas he is quite forlorn
For his flute bangs into his horn
So now he has a saxophone to toot...

I walk an already trodden path...
Uncertain, of future lives that lie ahead

But, in faith I close these earthly Ojibwa eyes
In trill, thus, I hear the old ways in your presence amidst Chinook winds
As harmonic they play across the plains, from sacred astral pipes
Mimicking cricket songs...

From the mountain's peak; the wooden flutes sound
the lamas leap and the water falls-- clear,
mindful, the wind's play on the Quechua's ground. 

The majesty of the Andes astounds
for from behind the clouds, the peaks reappear.  
From the mountain's peak; the wooden flutes sound.

Like great...

Through closed eyes, I see what has become of your land.
I hear flutes, blessings drifting across a land filled with
highways and stoplights, never silenced.

Through closed eyes, I see children screaming and running,
smoke from soldier's muskets settling upon their fallen bodies.

Through closed eyes, your drums still...

A stick of simple bamboo. .
A wood of no repute. 
Hollow, empty,  dull...
Deaf and dumb..so mute.

Then..just a few holes they put..
and Oh!! ..how it looked so cute.
Behold the brown bamboo..
It changed itself to a flute.

Fingers flowed..
Sliding the route so smooth.
Acoustics played paradise. .
So serene...

~ Flute Song ~

Born in the deep depths of a hollow womb
Winsome notes float out with a sweet perfume
Poetic pearl tones glow through twilight gloom
And from sacred shadows pure music blooms
A haunting call from melody’s cocoon
Heaven’s breath invites trills of joyful tunes
Spread on sweet silver...

Holy
Exhalation
Fine-tuned
Lyrical

My favorite instrument: the Flute


My first and only instrument I received as a little girl was
a Flute.
My godfather had gotten me a Flute after he and my mom had broken up. I don’t recall what happened to my Flute.

A few years later I had a...

The girl picked up the flute and played.
It sang and sang and sang;
Sometimes low like a wild cat’s purr;
Sometimes high like a songbird.
Sometimes loud like a charging bull;
And sometimes quiet like a whisper that dances in your ears....

In the snow and ice,
a flute is played in the blizzard
by someone who makes tunes like a wizard
to tame the weather, in order to create paradise

Snowflakes fall ever so slow,
the wind softly breezing by the flute in the ever-white land
forever striving in eternal glow
and happiness...

for Wallace Stevens

it's not an ordinary toot
That's played upon the golden flute.

One time a man asked me to play
Upon my flute his flustered way.
I said, "This is no substitute!
This is the esoteric flute!"
He looked at me and muttered. "Shoot."

I then began to play a scene

A wooden flute,
              I glimpsed among my mother’s treasured keepsakes in childhood.

my mother had two tokens she never parted with -
    a book containing music notations, 
    and a flute, made of brass. 

     her favourite book had her name handwritten on the cover,

Exotic perfumes opulent 
Hibiscus and jasmine sentient
Charming flute and sitar entice
Indian chants undulating
Heads pivoting eyes inviting
Warm smiles reminiscent of spice
Voices that throw you in a trance
In a most voluptuous dance
Timing of twirling so precise
Long black waves of ebony hair
Swaying through the sumptuous air
Sweet frangipanis caressed...
