Symphony

  A symphony is an extended musical composition in Western classical music, scored almost always for orchestra. A symphony usually contains at least one movement or episode composed according to the sonata principle. Many symphonies are tonal works in four movements with the first in sonata form, which is often described by music theorists as the structure of a "classical" symphony, although many symphonies by the acknowledged classical masters of the form, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven do not conform to this model.

 My thoughts and ideas fail to fall prey to any such literal idea of symphony. What my mind musters, is a little off-track.

The tune in the distance is fading away

The dark shadows are slowly retreating,

The walls are falling apart-giving way

To let you glide in- into the angel’s ring!

Storms and shine have ravaged me,

I collect my memories while I recline,

To find them void- an empty way.

My mind is filled as if with wine.

Like the drunken lover I wait,

With the child’s insecurity I hunt for you.

The beam of light, or even a ray

Would fill my soul and make my day.

When I collapse, tired and exhausted

You rise up from the grave and lift your veil,

You enliven my memories, through some are rusted.

The wounds of my mind, you heal.

You touch me with your warmth and embrace my heart,

You glide into my soul- all day and night

Only obstructed by the concrete, which stands guard.

The halo of the heavens, the ring of eternity.

I grope in the darkness to fell thee

We shall be forever in a little above,

I’ll bathe in your light- the moon, calm and serene

The symphony of life you play!
