The fear has subsided, Uncertainty melts into endless kisses, The second movement begins On a hopeful note, The violins build with a confidence And unity, powerful and harmonious. The unstructured first movement Simply a search for a theme A leitmotif to progress from darkness To light. The woodwinds laugh, The horns announce the news, The drums are strength and power Driving the rhythm of our love. Writing the notes together We flow like rain Blow together like leaves In a breeze so brisk and strong. We are conducting this movement In gentle caresses and playful interchanges. A melody only the heart can hear, Silently envelops our waking hours, And urging us to surrender. The orchestra plays as one We float upon the ocean of sound, Wondering if the symphony will ever end. Let the musicians play on We can dance till dawn.
