wooing the symphony


suddenly aware
hearing the words, the libretto
as if an opera
or some long Russian novel

a melody emerging
within the words, the stones
wooing the symphony
the story unknown

the rising and falling
the crescendo, the passion
the joy within the stones
a story all their own

coaxing the story
the novel, the romance
the dance within the pages
the mystery revealed

wooing the symphony
the beginning notes only
more to be written
in their whole lives unfolding
