Woodwind of Joy

Augustus

Would there were a willowing woodwind blowing happy

thoughts, wooing grimace to grin, coaxing, wheedling the

distraught.  Winding its way down the street, marching,

strutting to a lively beat, with heads chiming out of windows

forgetting the blues within, modulating to the tunes  

carried on the wind. Just listen and stress begins

to flee; thoughts glisten bowing to this stick man band of

glee.  Musical notes topple woes like dominoes, tickling

the ivories of your fancy and tuning your virtuoso. Melodies

putting the mind at ease, symphonies  of bodily harmony.

Oh, could there Be, to find the key to pitch and scale far

from my Elegy to trade minor for major, shift to a smiling,

singing choirboy following my maestro woodwind of joy.

      You are the one who gave me the idea. I've been in the dumpster for a while now. Thanks.

        Thanks right back at you for that. I want all of us to pull you out of there and keep you out. That is no place for someone like you kiddo!
