Red Light Symphony
Tunneling through a canal so dark and thin hidden from plain sight
The drums bang with excitement of the flashing red lights
Movement one takes flight and hangs softly in the air a setup so sensual
The horns blow to and fro harmony is ever so consensual
The pitch maneuvers in methodical steps yet still happens to pierce the innocence
The atmosphere is freshen but the building bravo is really intense
Movement two leaves behind and the notes that managed to sooth
The woodwinds come alive hit hard but still move in a groove
The wave of new additions work harder and harder in a Rhythm that's booming
Chords are struck strings are plucked the air is now thick and looming
Steady is the pace everything seems to race to what is soon to be another level
Satisfaction in the progress is more than enough to revel
Movement three the worker bee creating a massive score never losing steam
The work takes shape and develops form that makes each eye develop a gleam
Teeth clench as you float off in the musical dream state created thus far
Movement four exploding stars much louder than bombs of war
A climax that in fact over shadows all movements before
Although it brings in the rear there only a small crease in the door
The work goes bolder before it closes with the anticipation of more in store
Lips are licked fingers cracked for the massive ending chapter
Symbols are added bass drums are hammered put the purity is not hampered
The bows fly energy stays high everything moves in such a grand state
The tempo grows louder and louder the bars are harder and harder as if doom was in its wake
In then out up then down the piece showcases its talent in every location
Each line begs you to join and not resistant temptation
Then there goes a crescendo maximizing the flow as clam enters the stage
Heartbeats are racing but have started taking time to turn the page
To savor the ending of a of all the splendid things that have transpired
We take a bow and can't help but smile as the glory guns are fired
You appreciate the audience total attentiveness didn't realize it was so many
Visitors to our window during the red light symphony
