Morning Music No. 1

By John Moore •
Cello Suite No. 1
the hum of chainsaws
the din of passers by
neighbor’s tea kettles sing
I sip my coffee, just too hot
domino sleeps in today,
much like everyday
Bach helps me think
Peer Gynt Suite No.1
Morning Mood, I believe
suddenly the grandeur
of the day
fills my heart
with song,
with possibility,
with delight.
The lull, I do not know what it is called,
tapers me down, like a feather,
falling from the height of crescendo
Symphony No. 5

my heart bellows
with emotion,
with purpose,
with sanguine power
the problems of the day
suddenly seem simultaneously insurmountable
and yet powerless against my vigor.
the trumpets remind me of a cavalry bugle, charging in
I am not alone, even in solitude.
The movement continues,
contrasting these romantic
dramatic
forces of being
as such,
the tea kettles whisper like flutes,
the chainsaws like drums
my dog like a rest amidst it all.
The symphony of my morning is indefatigable.
And I
As its conductor have unfamiliar power
