Genesis

Unorganized, loud,
instruments play,
with one wave
a baton silences them all.

It gently turns to its left,
signaling for the beautiful sounds
of violins to start plucking.
Soon viola’s jump in with
their deeper tune.
With this a picture tries to form,
yet there is something missing.

Bows racing across Cellos,
making for a deep vibration.
Violins and violas alike follow in
pursuit, creating a smoother sound.

A picture of the night sky forms overhead.
Stars racing to the song,
they accelerate their dance
as the instruments quicken their pace.

Flutes, triangles, and drums are brought in
developing an astonishing song.
Some stars slow down and match the beat
of the drums.

The picture forming above the symphony
is like no other.
Stars race, beat, and match
every instrument.

The baton slows down quieting all
but the violins, who are even slower.
The stars match the pace,
assembling together to form,

The creation of Earth
