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
