Trip to the Orchestra

Bows fly across strings
As grandmother and I sit in red velvet chairs
We hear the song of a bird
Flying through our ears
Like a fish swims through water

I live through the melody
The lyrics consume me
The cello reminds me of a robin
The violin a lark
In the middle sits the viola
Singing a red cardinals song

And standing tall, behind them all
is a bass
The deep chords hang in the cool air
Like sunlight, working it's way through a fog
The bass is the foundation
Working alongside the robin cello
Like Grass, ready for a morning's dew
