NIGHT SYMPHONY

 
 
Blowing winds mimic trains
Rumbling through the countryside
The roaring masks the whistle’s wails
Preceding arrival at crossroads
 
Good conductors recognize this
Making necessary adjustments
Using undetected motions
 
Engineers do not pose as conductors
They carry no baton
 Winds need no baton or conductor
 
Both continue through the night
The wind as it pleases
The other to a well known schedule
 
One will eventually go home to enjoy
His own symphony of rock-and-roll or country
After lavabo and vespers he is settled
Slides easily into his dreamland
 
We are home, we
Have no choice
Listen to this music
It cannot be ignored
 
In deference to classic
We call it traditional nature
You enjoy but not to the point of delight
There are no refunds
No tickets were purchased
 
No curtain calls for performers
This is a solitary storm
Done her way:  Tempo allegro
