The Score

There is music hidden within the night
Chords struck
As the moon whistles its light along the tree tops
The swaying of branches
Echoing beats
That are buried deep inside the wood
Ripples across the pond
Sing vibrato
Crashing into cat tails
That stand tall
Playing their strings to a crowded house
I feel the anxious fluttering
In the piccolos flapping their wings;
Hear the thundering bass
In the longing of their hearts
I see the music played to a score
Written across the stars
For all to follow along
And I lay back
In the grass content just to be
A note in the night.

Lovely. This was posted on my birthday, I feel I was given a gift.

PS) Little weird, but my husband is downstairs on the phone... STRANGE RIGHT??? No wait, I haven't said the weird part yet...he's talking about cattails.

Odd indeed.
