~The flautist~

      silence steeped
      in anticipation,
      ever hopeful
      she sits on
      the empty stage

      slender fingers
      nestle gently,
      rose bud lips
      form a perfect pout

      this flauto contralto
      oblivious to her audience,
      begins to bring
      the world a little closer

      emotions dance
      to their own beat,
      passions float
      on the breeze of serenity

      swaying notes
      of sweet contemplation

      magic becomes the moment,
      carried away on clouds
      of pure bliss

      just one sound echoes,
      reflecting lions' roar
      at sunset

      silence...
      the curtain falls
