The Sonata

The Sonata

With eagerness awaiting the opening chord,

Our instruments in tune and facing forward.

Audience hushed,

Excitement reigns.

All ears trained toward

The Sonata

This particular piece is difficult and long

Three mighty movements in one special song

With heart beat raised

I lift my gaze

To focus firmly upon

The Maestro

He stands and waves his white baton

Melody and harmony play and run

Happy children

Skipping and dancing

'Til the first movement finds

It's ending 

  

 The joyful sounds were soon replaced

A minor key sang sorrows embraced

Tears and timing

All as planned

Work that is guided by the

Maestro's hand

The second movement finally done

But the third is not yet begun

So silent now

Trusting God's Will

I practice patience and

Being still
