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
