Then I saw you and
The crews climb the stairs
In uniform scale
Like a contradictory combination
of war figures clashing in antiphonal exchange.
The special arrangement of our
National Anthem parachuting
Like the sound of your laughter
a molto forte thing
Illuminated, kept the drama in place.
Leonard Cohen’s moist and dark
Halleluiah
Assembled in the middle
Amazed and gave context to the stage.
With a twilight fragility
Nella Fantasia del Divo expressed
The incomplete mission
for a world of justice.
Flamenco style Carmen
Festive and colorful
Pulsed beats towards flights
Of such a revelation of forces.
Between the sounds of incredible cantatas
And the sacred composition
I had thousands of meaning
Exploding in my face.
You know how it is
When we begin to discover
Moments of symphonic proportions
Life never seems so perfect
And I pick them (these moments)
To identify what concerts secretly
Between us.
