At the time my wife was at a choral rehearsal, while I was there keeping the dogs company and hearing the songs as they floated through the open doorway, this poem came to mind.
Making Harmony
Singing songs,
Working in harmony,
Feeling the energy,
Keeping the rhythm.
Singing songs,
New melodies to experience,
Feeling the energy,
Adjusting the tones.
Voices coming together,
Making beautiful music,
Working together,
Towards a common vision.
All have a role,
Some sing high,
Others fill in sounds and rhythm,
The combined effect is the goal.
It’s like the synergy of things,
Together we can make beautiful music,
Together many more things are possible,
Together we can all create a unified world.
