Music conductor
Slender
Dressed in black
Her entire body
In tune with the musical
Notes she conducts as
Young performers sing
With angelic voice
One united voice
Of spirits uplifted
Heavenward
The audience
Enveloped in joyfulness
This petite instructor
Of the chorus leads by
Illustration and displays
The power of music
The sweetness of sound
The longevity of life
Measured through chords
Notes, instrument, voice
Applause from an audience
Uplifted, spellbound
Even the ruffles at the hem of
Her skirt appear to dance
In perfect time with the chorus
And hand bell chimes
She is a symphony in stance.

Hi Pauline, Magical
Symphony of stance, at a glance.
Life oscillates somewhere between our softer and kinder dreams, and the harsher everyday realities
I love the dancing ruffles on her skirt.
Very beautifully written Pauline!
Your words are a symphony as well, and their music provided a visual concert -- I could see this scene. Lovely, Pauline.
It was amazing to witness this older woman so alive with her love of music! thank you all for the lovely moments.
I so love this! I came back to read it again simply to feel , embrace and enjoy the moment once again.
